A Sweater From Grandma

To create my layered background, I cut some of the strips from Fancy Pants Wishful Thinking Strips patterned paper and stitched them down with my sewing machine. I then pulled up the edges of every other strip to add dimension. I also used one of the strips (the green Simply Delightful strip) as a ribbon of sorts, by cutting it in pieces, pleating it and trimming Vs in the ends.
