Lisa recently told me she wanted to make a tent for her daughter, perfect for play and for photos. She wanted it to have a very sweet and vintage feel to it. Here’s what we came up with.
I used some of my vintage fabric, even included some new fabric you might recognize from Lil Blue Boo clothing, to create a patchwork tent cover for the A-Frame Tent. We added some floral paper garland for a little something extra. Now we have a lovely tent for photos or for reading a good book.
Where did we go for beautiful tent inspiration? Pinterest of course! You must check out all of the lovely tent photos we found:
We created the A-Frame Tent using the tutorial by Cakies on Grosgrain. Super easy!
This week I’ll show you how to make the patchwork portion and simple garland to decorate the inside:

It’s adorable! Can’t wait for the tutorials!!!
Get out of town … that is SO adorable! Addie wants one now!! LOL! Now if only her mommy knew how to sew. So sweet, your talent never ceases to amaze me, you gals!
The Aframe tent was on my to do list after I saw the tutorial last week – I love your patchwork idea. Now I am inspired to get it made.
What a sweet project! Reminds me of my childhood when we would drape one of my grandmother’s quilts over the furniture to make a tent…….fond memories. You guys have such good ideas!
I have a dear freind who works for Ralph Lauren and we were just talking about the teepees on his ranch that were on oprah…I told her I could make one of those! Now I may have to try! Hopping over to grosgrain now! So fun!
Thanks for posting!
This is the sweetest thing! It is so whimsical and innocent and is exactly what kiddos should be doing. Imagining and creating. LOVE.
That is absolutely adorable. I bet she just loves her tent. The colors are so soft and pretty. Y’all did a great job:)
