For my sister in law’s baby shower I made some sweet baby shower banners for the decoration. I picked up two vintage Golden Books from the thrift store and cut the pages into triangles.
I then just sewed them to a piece of ribbon. So easy. Who knew you could sew paper like this! 
And I made some smaller ones with my excess scraps…
I also cut up some fabric for cake bunting…
Tomorrow I will share how the cake bunting turned out, along with the shower, and a little giveaway! So be sure to stop by again tomorrow!Do you use banners to decorate?
I originally bought my sewing machine for just that - sewing paper! After I'd had it for a couple years it occurred to me I could use it on fabric too. Boy, if you ever want to see the ladies at the fabric store flip out, tell them you use your machine on paper. It's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI love to sew paper.... Love your banner and think it's a great idea for the shower! I have to ask,, when you got married did you stop working outside the home? My hours got cut back to 13 hours a week.. trying to not get discouraged and keep my focus on my home! Any advice would be appreciated!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the end result! Your hubby seems like he's a good sport with all your projects!
ReplyDeleteI love how this looks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I'm going to have to do this in our nursery!
Love it! I think you should change your name to domestic Goddess!
ReplyDeleteAs a scrapbooker I knew you could saw paper but have never done it.
I love, love, love banners. Have a Halloween up right now
