Happy fourth of July everyone!! I'll sing us a little Star Spangled Banner for everyone! :D I'm sure if you were here you'd love it!
On this lovely holiday my husband is away bike riding and I am happily blogging away looking forward to some red, white, & blue cheesecake!
So what better way to celebrate than to show you a liberating project I did recently! I had a freeing moment while making ties for my little man a couple weeks ago.
I knew what I wanted this tie to look like but didn't have the fabric for it. My husband has a long standing joke about rubber chickens... yeah I know, rubber chickens, yes, seriously, oh well :) So I was going to make Jack a rubber chicken tie...
How often do you run into rubber chicken fabric?
Not often for me!
I was being held back by the limitations of the fabric world! Shackled by the injustice of chicken haters the globe over!
Well, after a little while I decided it didn't matter if I had the right fabric I could make my own!!
How you ask?
I appliqued my own rubber chicken right there on that tie!
It was a freeing moment! I cut and sewed exactly what I wanted how I wanted it!
Why you ask?
I did it for the freedom of fabric choice and because it was so dang cute!
It didn't matter that the fabric wasn't pre-designed to what I wanted, that only made it all the more fun!
Who knew applique would be the force to deliver me from the restraints I didn't even know I had!
I hope that through this story of my Fourth of July chicken you too can have a liberating fourth!
Hehe! Have a happy day! Shoot some fireworks and sing me a little Star Spangled Banner!
