The TeePee Pattern Arrived!!!


Grandpa Tim is jealous.  He says when he was a little boy in Fort Wayne, he always wanted a teepee of his own.  He had a fort, but he thought a teepee would have been cooler!

I might have to make him one after I finish this one for the grandkids.

First stop on this project is finding the right fabric.  I'm thinking something soft, perhaps with a nap, in a nice tan or light brown, like a real teepee.  Some yarn to mimic whip-stitching and some animals sponge-painted on the sides, or painted on my the kids.  This will take me a few months to put together, but at least they're preschool age, so I don't have to worry about them outgrowing it too soon.
