As he has an angelic name, I thought the angelic orphrey bands would suit - it was a huge roll of stiffened ribbon I bought, ahem, about 20 odd years ago, when my lad was a baby - in the vague hope that I would find some use for it...sometimes it pays to horde things!
It looked a bit bland in the centre of the cross, in need of a motif, and as I had plenty of red velvet scraps, what better in this month of the Sacred Heart, to place one there.
As I've been rather busy sewing lately, I didn't have much time to spend on this, and I was racking my brains for a quick solution to the flames needed at the top of the heart ….
Having just completed a dress for a certain young lady, I had plenty of scraps of the fabric lying around, and realised that if I cut a piece in just the right way, it would do splendidly...
Blessings on your little lad and all making their First Communions! I love his chasuble :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! Very clever of you to make the “flames” with sunflower fabric!
ReplyDeleteHow did he like it? Wish we could’ve been there for his FHC.
My goodness, I had to laugh when I saw how cleverly you had recycled the sunflower fabric to make the flames for the Sacred Heart! It is good to know someone else has a brain that functions as mine does. The dress and the chasuble are both lovely and will no doubt provide much pleasure to both lucky recipients. Well done!
