But moving on... let's check one thing off my list... a blog post!
I made a cute little fabric kite to hang on the wall in the girls playroom. I looks so sweet.
It was fairly easy to make and as you can see, I whipped it up without paying too much attention to detail. This is something I rarely do, if ever! But, I knew it would still look as lovely hanging on the wall in the play room whether or not the seams were sewn perfectly!
To get started, I drew a template of a kite on freezer paper, cut it out and then cut four triangles of fabric to sew together. After sewing the triangles together I sewed a quick hem along the edges. I made some really basic little triangles and sewed them to the corners to create little pockets to tuck some wooden dowels underneath to create a frame for the kite. Then I tied on some twine at the bottom for the string and I tied little scraps of fabric to it for an extra cute kite look. Do those things have a name, or a purpose, other than looking cute?!
Flying a kite is a great springtime activity. Now we have to get outside and fly our real one!
