Today we are playing with the Sizzix Fabi and having lots of summer fun! I used this dress die to create a nautical inspired quilt block.
To create this block, I used the pennant die to cut the banner.
I trimmed it down slightly to make them smaller. The dress is cut from navy dots and the sash from red and white stripe. I used Heat n Bond Lite on the back of the dress and the pennants to adhere to the white 8.5″ square. I drew an anchor on the Heat n Bond Lite and appliquéd it to the dress, adding small ric rac accents. I stitched around all the pieces. Seriously, can I get this dress in my size!!!!!
I am sending the dress block to Sizzix and they are sewing an entire quilt with dress blocks that designers create! I can’t wait to see everyone’s block!!
Sizzix also makes a little girl dress die. I let Sally, my 7 year old, have at it with a box of paper, this Dress Die, and the Fabi. She had hours and hours of fun designing her own fashions.
We used miniature clothespins to display all of her creations!
I love that the Sizzix machines are simple to use. My children and I love creating together 🙂
