My Recent Inpiration:
The Sewing Machine and Paper Strips
August 11, 2010
I see sewing on scrapbook layouts and cards all of the time and think that it looks so amazing. I confess though, I've been a bit scared to try it. Maybe it stems from my childhood growing up when I took those home ecomonic classes and deemed that "I was not a sewer" or maybe it just seemed like too much work for one page. Whatever the reason, I just never tried it. However, I recently decided to put aside my fears and give it a go. It ended up being quite easy, simple, and.....FUN!
I decided to create a border using strips fo paper. I cut strips fo paper 12 inches long and 1 1/4 inches wide. I used about 8 strips to create a photo frame for my 8 x 8 picture.
I began my folding the strips accordian style but more random and sewing it together using the sewing machine.
Here's what it looked like:
