Yes! I bought two small decorative pumpkins for my grandma's house and I guess she doesn't like them because she keeps asking what we are going to do with them. Now I guess I should tell her they're pattern weights! Genius.
heheee.. that's a good idea.. i use combination of remotes and books.. send some sewing mojo over here, to unglue me from spaghetti westerns and reconnect me with lovely dress-wannabee-fabric
How fun! And I just adore that fabric. I'm always terribly jealous of your amazing ability to pick/combine/wear prints and of the fact that you live in NYC and can go fabric shopping at places ridiculously more awesome than Jo-Anns.
Haha! I love it! xo
ReplyDeletePerfect!

ReplyDeleteTwo weeks if you dont carve them! After that potatoes and red beets! Cabbage works well with white and slippery fabrics!

ReplyDeleteLOVE this :) I expect to see mini pies in ramekins next! (Totally JK)
ReplyDeleteI'm way ahead of you. I use CANNED pumpkin for my pattern weights. Not as cute but longer shelf life.
ReplyDeletethis actually did blow my mind & i can't decide if i should be embarrassed or not haha
