Festive Fourth

Thought I might share a couple fun things I’ve seen to make for the Fourth of July…

These July 4th Layered Drinks topped with cute sparkler straws are festive and fun!

 

My daughter and I sewed up some small Quilted Pillows in festive patriotic fabrics to set on my porch bench.

We just used up some scraps of fabric we had on hand and we got creative cutting and sewing them up. We added some buttons by hand and they were done.

I did most of the cutting and she sat at my machine and did all the sewing. She is just learning to quilt and so it was a fun project to do together and good practice for her. I didn’t use any pattern just cut strips with star fabrics I had on hand and made it work.

We used some leftover denim for the backs and the edges. We took some fluff out of an old couch pillow we had saved in the sewing room for such a project. We made some for the inside bench and the porch bench. So cute and festive! A perfect craft for your 4th!

Happy Fourth of July!
