chalk cloth puppet theater
January 25th, 2012 § 4 Comments
After a good friend of mine saw our puppet theater, she sort of commissioned me to make one for her kids.
By that time, I’d bought the book Oliver + S Little Things to Sew, and wanted to try out the doorway puppet theater project, which is a lot better constructed than my by-the-seat-of-my-pants felt theater.
The project has a very cute fabric house on the front (you can find a picture of it here) and I struggled with the choice of fabric, or whether I should leave it off entirely. Then I had a flash of brilliance — chalk cloth! Or perhaps it was not really so brilliant, as it made the theater sort of bulky and hard to sew. However, I think it also stayed in place better than a fabric “house” would have, making a few less wrinkles in the end.
So anyway, now they have a fully customizable puppet theater/store/restaurant/house/whatever! And we can’t wait to come over and play! 
That is such a great use for chalkboard fabric! What a awesome project!
This is totally amazing! I’ll be sharing it with my blog readers tomorrow. Many thanks for your crafty goodness!!!
Chalkboard makes everything better! This is amazing, great job!
