This post has absolutely nothing to do with music or the military,
but I couldn't resist using "The Captain" in my title. I know...lame.
I just couldn't help myself. This is about "chenille", though.
I thought I'd show you my assortment of chenille bedspread scraps.
I collected these over a period of time, and I've been saving them for
future projects. I have no idea what I'm going to do with them yet. I didn't
cut up old bedspreads myself, but they are salvaged parts, and I do have
a few "cutters" myself. I just have a hard time taking a scissors to them.
Some pieces are larger, and some are smaller, but all of them are pretty.
You can see all the colors - and the patterns are just as varied.
These pinks remind me of snuggly baby girls. They're so soft and sweet.
I made this jacket for our younger granddaughter two years ago from
some of my scraps. It was just adorable on her. Perhaps I should make
a few more for the Brynwood Boutique? I love working on children's
clothing, and chenille seems to make for really sweet outfits.
I might just have to add more girly chenille jackets to my "To Do" List
after I finish all the projects I already have lined up. I could be fun!
How do you feel about chenille?
