Last project for 2017

My last project for 2017 is a busy bag for Ava. 

Lots of photos follow.

First I prepared the embroidered animals, window covers and door.

I fussy cut a little girl reading a book for the inside of the door.

Both sides of the door have iron-on interfacing.

Next I sewed some lines on the windows to make them more window-like.

The door and window section were sewn together.

The window covers ready to go on next.

This the view with the door open.

The pink strip at the top holds the window covers in place. 

Door and windows open

Trying out the roof piece.

Snaps have been attached to the window covers.

Trying out the grass and path.

It's hard to see with all the shadows but the bottom, top, and sides have strips of blue. 

The roof now looks right. There is a big button for the door knob.

Now to work on the patchwork for the other side of the bag. 

Hope to finish before New Years Day.

Check back for the finish!
