A custom camo cover for a composition book
Sewing - cape to go with the crown
I found this little crown this summer when we were touring town during Trash to Treasure. It was perfect for my youngest grand daughter. She and her brother have tigers made with exactly the same technique!! I decided to make her a little cape to go with the crown for Christmas. I used a light weight polyester fabric in orange and added some shimmery green fabric as the drawstring and added little handstitched stars on the end of the draw strings that coordinate with the crown. She is just turning three and very much into capes!! I see after taking the photo that I have stitched my snaps backwards to the cape so I will fix that up before packaging it up for her. Therese
Slow Stitching kits for Christmas
I made up two slow stitching kits for special people this Christmas season. There is a larger backer, 7" batting and front layer and then three squares in decreasing sizes which they can arrange as they see fit and slow stitch to the front piece. I provided some coordinating embroidery thread not sure if they would be able to find what they need in their stash. Once all the hand stitching is done they will be able to self bind these little trivets and use them on their dinner tables. They would also make large mug rugs if they are so inclined!! Therese
Sewing - crochet hook case
I stitched up this little case for a special someone who has been doing some little crocheted projects lately and it will go nicely with a selection of yarn as a gift for Christmas for them this year. I was worried about the pattern when I folded up the bottom but when I turned it over it was right side up which is what I had wanted. Love that is says "Give me my space"!!! It will hold a dozen crochet hooks and the last opening is a little wider to accommodate any other tool that they might want to store with the hooks. Therese
