Easy Pinwheel Banner

I decided I wanted something special for July 4, but didn't want to create another typical triangle banner. After seeing a wreath made out of pinwheels, I decided that was the way I wanted to go. It's really easy to put together - create the pinwheels (instructions can be googled), punch holes on the ends of the pinwheels and tie together.

Enjoy!

Easy Tea Towel Apron

If I have failed to mention it before, I will do so again. I love Amy Karol's book, "Bend-the-rules Sewing." It has so many great patterns in the book for projects that are easy to complete. For example, I made a couple of tea towel aprons for my daughter a few months back. I added a kangaroo pocket, but if you just want an apron sans pocket, it is easy to complete this project by simply sewing on either binding or ribbon for the apron ties.

Happy (simple) sewing.
