You can make it with or without straps. The secret to this project is learning how to use elastic thread. Once you’ve figured it out, you’ll realize that you can use the same pattern for making sundresses or summer shirts. All you have to do is change the fabric and the length. You can make this cover-up in cotton, or in stretchy French terry cloth for an absorbent version.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003c\/div\u003e    \u003cdiv class=\"dcol4\"\u003e        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/0136\/0605\/files\/checker_11003_moreinfo_3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"bord1\" title=\"\"\u003e        \u003ch4\u003eBackpack Decorations\u003c\/h4\u003e        \u003cp\u003eSophie says this is one of her favorite projects in the book. She had a really good time making these decorations with her friends. You can get creative making the stacked flowers and ice cream cones from felted wool. You can use beads, embroidery, or even sequins. Just make sure that you stitch them on carefully so they don’t fall off!\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003c\/div\u003e    \u003cdiv class=\"dcol4\"\u003e        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/0136\/0605\/files\/checker_11003_moreinfo_4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"bord1\" title=\"\"\u003e        \u003ch4\u003eSew a Hairband\u003c\/h4\u003e        \u003cp\u003eAfter Sophie made her first hairband, she began wearing it almost every day. In addition to being cute, it’s an easy way to keep your hair off your face. Although it’s a small project, there are lots of steps. So this isn’t a project you want to make in a hurry or when you’re tired. Once you’ve made it the first time, though, it gets much faster.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"smp23\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp class=\"pad\"\u003eWeeks Ringle and her husband Bill Kerr are professional quilt makers and founders of Modern Quilt Studio (formerly FunQuilts).
