Bistro Awning Tutorial

What a way to make a statement in a kids bedroom or playroom with a striped awning! I've designed two wood awnings - made one myself and my contractor made the other (they can be a little tricky). Sewing a fabric awning seems like a great project to tackle.  Dana shows how to make a bistro awning.

Flower Power: Fleece Fabric Pillow

 Fleece is an inexpensive and easy to work with fabric. Just how cute are these fleece flower pillows? Laura from Come Together Kids is a "fleece addict". She has full instructions on how to make these simple flower fleece pillows. Most of the pillow was put together using a glue gun...how cool is that!  I can imagine these cutie pie pillows in a playroom, little girls room, etc...

Make sure to check out her blog for complete instructions.

Kids Floor Cushions

 A little gray shared this cute kids cushion she made for her little guy.  She linked to the tutorial by 3 Punk Mom showing how to make the floor cushions below.
