Fun idea! When I was a kid, people sewed those travel badges on the sleeve of their windbreakers. You could tell in a jiffy who had done a lot of traveling. (Yes, we also used to say words like "jiffy" when I was a kid... that was quite a while ago.)
I love this so much, what a great idea! Times like this when I wish I would have kept my old pins and badges. Alicia joined a cheerleading team a few years back and we're keeping all her badges so this would be a fun project for us to do! Thanks for the idea Ashlyn :) xox
Wat an adorable blog! I just read about fifteen of your entries and have you on my Google Reader now so I won't lose you! Your photography and graphics are charming and your ideas are just great! Fondly, Suz
Such a great idea Ashlyn. All those old badges remind me of my days of old - Girl Guides & Holly Hobby bags! My own girls woud love a project like this, and the vintage trims are worth making a bag for anyway. So nice of you to find me and direct me here to your blog. I can see we have much in common, though many miles apart! Amanda x

What a wonderful idea, Ashlyn! I'll be on the lookout for things to make some of my own--summer is definitely a perfect time for these!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
