Here in the States we had our Memorial Day over the weekend. I love living in a small town on patriotic holidays. Small towns really know how to celebrate memorial day and the fourth of July. We had a tiny and cute parade in our town. Before we went I made flag applique tees for the girls from my blue and red scrap bags.
The parade was complete with civil war re-inactors...
Lots of local firetrucks and flags...
But on the way home we saw our favorite decoration of the holiday which captures small town holiday at its best...
So cute! I wish I had that tractor just to decorate in my front yard! Hope you all had a great holiday. You'll be seeing more of those tee shirts this summer- Such a fast and easy project!
Love the unconventional fabrics to make up the red white and blue.

Love the photo in the long dress - her expression is so very warm. The tee-shirts are great a very good use of scraps!

I want the tractor, too! With or without the flag. Great shirts.

What a lovely town! I think I'd like to move there! :-) I love your idea for an easy patriotic shirt.
