My Craft Spot Challenge #23. Sew much fun!

Time for another fun challenge at My Craft Spot. This week challenge, Kimberly asked us to create a project using sewing somewhere on our projects. This was a easy challenge for me since most of my projects do have faux stitching somewhere. So I decided to step it up a notch and drag out my sewing machine!

My sister Debby came across this old photo of my mother doing the laundry back in the early 1950's and was kind enough to send me a copy.

Do you remember the old wringer washer and having to hang the clothes on the line no matter what the weather was like? This was when laundry was a all day chore, but oh my goodness the clothes did smell delightful. My Mother was so young in this picture and Maytag did not even introduce it's first automatic dryer until 1953, not that my parents would be able to afford one for many years to come.

I had a ball making the clothesline, which was cut from Country Life Cricut cartridge at 5.50 inches, I used some stickels and bling on the clothes and stitched around the edges just to add a little extra . The washtub was also cut from the same cartridge but at 3 inches. I used some of the new marmalade crinkled ribbon which can be purchased at My Craft Spot and the colour worked in just perfect with my layout.

I hope you will be able to join in the Sew much fun challenge this week at My Craft Spot . I am looking forward to seeing all your wonderful projects!
