I am sure you are all well acquainted with how much I love Deb Fischer of Fish Museum and Circus.
Well, she has a gorgeous new line coming out called Night Rainbow. And I got to play with it already!!!
My project did not require a lot of the fabric though, just three 1/2 yard cuts. I chose these three.
What was my *little project*?
A new pair of Summer Sneakers!!!
That’s right! I quilted a pair of sneakers for the summer!
The first step was to make some quilt sandwiches. The blue dots fabric was the lining for the shoe, so it was the backing. I used a light cotton batting.
Then I got to play with my new SewTites cutting system! Oh, I am loving this. The magnets held the pattern to the cutting mat and I was able to cut right around it. No pinning, no drawing lines, no scissors.

Once all the pieces were cut out, I just had to bind and add the grommets.
Nothing to it really.
Then I took myself, the soles, the thread and needle, and a pair of pliers outside to sit in the sun and sew it all together.
Look how adorable they are!!!
I used an elastic through the grommet for easy on and off.
They’re surprisingly quite comfortable. And just so stinkin’ cute!!!
