It's that time again!!!

One of the best parts of our Petite Retreat Autumn Vintage Market on Saturday was my 'Sweet Sweater Pumpkin' class! Five vivacious and fun girls joined me in our newly-renovated hay barn for a few hours of creativity and laughter, while I demonstrated the simple techniques of making my original designs. Photographer Elise Liptack captured it all, and you can see her images here. My hastily-snapped photos are below:

Each participant created two of their own 'Sweet Sweater Pumpkins'... and I LOVE how different they all are! Their choices of sweater fabrics & colors, and then embellishments of ribbon, leaves, sparkly bling and other elements made each one a unique and personal masterpiece. {My white one is shown at the top of this post}.

Inspiring, yes?!

If you'd like to learn how to make your own versions of my original creation, check out this tutorial in a past post. {If you post them online or offer them for sale, I only ask that you politely credit me as the originator of the design, and call yours something else... let's all play nice, shall we?!}

And for those who don't want to make them, know that I'll have baskets & baskets full of these little darlings for sale in our booth at the upcoming Remnants of the Past show - in under two weeks!
