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 scrap pieces of fabric I had on hand and just 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 has gotten quite good at sewing, so it was a fun to make these together. I didn’t use any pattern I just cut strips from red fabrics I had on hand and made it work.

We used leftover denim for the backs and the edges. We took some fluff out of an old couch pillow I had saved in the sewing room for such a project as this:)  Then we made some for the inside bench and the porch bench too.  They are cute and festive (and were basically no cost:)  A perfect craft for adding a lil decor to your 4th!

Happy Fourth of July!
