Grrrrrr.... I got the blue and white checked border on my beehive quilt and it was all nice and square. Then I spent all morning sewing the thin red ric rac around the seam. It was going to look so great. Then when I laid it out.... it was all puckered. I redid it....and you guessed it. It was still puckered. That took most of the day.
So I'm going to rip it out again and then I don't know what to do because I love the look of red ric rac. Any suggestions?
I needed to make something cute and fast to cheer me up, so I made this cute drawstring bag I found on this blog http://www.audreyandmaude.blogspot.com/
I think Ollie needs a boy bag to keep his boy toys in. His sisters have bags and purses to tote things around in and now he will too.
Hi Ollie!

oh jan, this is adorable! i'm sorry you're having trouble with the ric rac. i've never sewn anything this large with ric rac, so i don't know. i thought of this post though...
