Reader Project: Little Teepee

Reader Jamie sent us an e-mail, "I thought you might like this little project I just completed for my 16 month daughter. It doesn't really fit into the recent Great Outdoors theme but it still says summer to me."

Inspired by a tent tutorial on SewMamaSew, Jamie tells us, "I changed the design by sewing tunnels for the poles on the inside, sewing the top part of the entry, adding port-hole windows, and adding leather and wooden bead details."

Our favorite part is that the tent is no-sew as it is held together with grommets. Even if you are a novice sewer -- or can't sew at all -- you'll be able to tackle this fun project. Nice!

Thanks for sharing, Jamie.

This is exactly the inspiration I need! I love love love the hanging beads and the fuzzy rug inside. And my little one would play peek-a-boo out those portholes for hours (okay, more like 5 minutes, but were talking 14 month old time here).

I love the colors of your rooms -- your house looks cool and refreshing.

(Or maybe the Texas summer heat is just bringing me down!)
