Craft Room MEGA POST + Tutorial

SUBWAY ART PENNANT OR BUNTING OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT! I CALL IT LOVE!

I did not take pics and will not bore you all with how to sew this thing together! There are a plethora of bloggers that can and do, explain that process WAY better than me!! But I will explain how I applied the SUBWAY ART to make this little craft a little more special.

I bought 4 Fat Quarter 2 Red and 2 Black Damask w/ Red accents at my local BIG BOX.

See?

Then I ironed them all smooth, like so...

Don't be hating on my ironing board cover. We have all seen it before and STILL NO ONE HAS OFFERED TO SEND ME A NEW ONE. Come crafty peeps, I know one of you wants to send me one, right?

Then I ironed it on to HEAT SEAL n Bond. You know, that crap you iron on so fabrics stick together.

 Then I peeled off the backing and ironed the two pieces together so that they would be reversible. Then I cut them into 4 equal pieces so that they were about the size of a piece of computer paper.

Then I made this ADORABLE Subway Art printable using some of my scrap booking software.

Then I printed it on to DARK iron-on TRANSFER Paper (USE THE DARK KIND OR THE PRINTABLE COTTON, I think the other stuff is crappy!! Learn from my mistakes!)

I used my handy dandy little paper trimmer to make sure all of my lines were straight. Then I ironed it on to my "computer paper size FAT QUARTER pieces we made earlier. Then, I sewed around the edges and cut them out. After everything was all cut out I sewed them together, added RED binding, and a little ruffle of sequin sparkle in aqua, and voila.

I alternated the fabric sides, SEE? 

On the RED ones I also added black sequin ribbon trim.

Can you tell? 

OOPS, that left side looks a little wonky in the picture!

Aww, much better!

So, what do you think? Do you LOVE it? Was it worth keeping TOP SECRET for over a month?

I am so proud of that little closet "valance." I LOVE Subway Art and think this will give me inspiration when I can not find it anywhere else!

And here is the picture I took of myself as I was plugging the camera back into the computer.

AND NOW...DRUM ROLL PLEASE...

The second half of the Craft Room Reveal:

Above the door on the inside of the room. I painted this Silver with Rust-Oleum's Silver texture Spray that I used with my frame redo earlier this summer. I am now thinking about spraying the handle black and leaving the blade silver to make it look a little more realistic. What do you think?

My sweet little hooks, picked up at my Hobby Lobby Store at 50% off. I sprayed the big crown Colonial Red from Rust-Oleum and then glittered it up.

Hanging right above my "new" dresser. 

Sewing station...with my NEW PRIDE & JOY... 

Can you hear the angels singing? This is my new sewing/embroidery/surging machine that I bought BRAND NEW at 75% off! DUDE that is so HOT! 

Well, there it is the second half! Was it worth the wait?

Do you want to see everything all together now?

I got this idea from another blogger but cannot remember who. So if you know shoot me an email so that I can link back to them. The big goblet with my initial on it was a gift last year from a friend.

Cute huh?
