SYTYC Week 6

February 13, 2011

I made it through another week on SYTYC! Thank you all for your votes! It was Red Week for the theme and went along with the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign to raise awareness about the risk of heart disease and stroke in women.

So my craft for Red Week was a relaxing hammock. Below is how my entry appeared for the contest. This week I will post the tutorial so you can make your own hammock.

An important part of preventing heart disease is controlling stress. When coming up with a project for this week’s Go Red for Women theme, I wanted to create a project that helps women relax.

Is there a better way to unwind than stretching out on a hammock? A fun part of this hammock is how easily it is to personalize it. You can even claim it as yours and yours alone by putting your name across it. Kids would get a kick out of seeing their name too.

Make a coordinating pillow to complete the relaxation process and add a splash of color to your backyard.

This project is easy enough for a beginning sewer, so it won’t stress you out to make one!
