Suburban Belle

I’ve seen these floating around the interwebs for quite awhile now, and I’ve been wanting to make some from the first time I saw them. I finally got around to it the last few days. Love, love, love how these turned out.

For the larger one, I cut out letters with my new-to-me Cricut (gifted to me by the awesome cousin Elena again!). I used directions I found on the Cricut message board to cut fabric. It worked pretty well…would have worked better on chunkier letters, probably, but they were usable, for sure. I hand-stitched the individual triangles together and added buttons, rick rack, and tulle for dimension. Each triangle is a sandwich of two pieces of vintage cotton woven with a layer of Warm and Natural batting in the middle.

For the smaller one, each triangle is a layer of vintage cotton woven backed with Warm & Natural. I put eyelets in each top corner to thread rick rack through for hanging.
