THE PENNANT DIE JUST LOVES FABRIC!!

ESAD retired blog hop


You might have popped on over from the talented KELLY, or you might have just stumbled into our blog hop by “accident”, but you can start here and just continue around the circular blog hop until you get back to your original starting point!  Enjoy 25 blogs that all feature projects made with retiring products for your viewing enjoyment … Have fun!!

I had a duvet inner and needed a cover for it, and the pennant die makes it so much faster to cut out all those half diamonds than doing it by hand!  I LOVE the pennant die, especially with fabric, it’s so super fast to cut out fabric with.  I am still very much a beginner at this fabric / sewing stuff, but I am quite pleased with the way it turned out!

My Big Shot Club ladies will be getting step by steps instructions and tips on how to make it easier for this project shortly …

I love the idea of the big shot to cut these, so much hard work avoided trying to make them all the same lol :) Colour combination is great.
