I saw this idea on someone’s blog. Unfortunately, I don’t know whose blog, so I can’t give credit at this time. This project uses very little fabric, so I was able to use some pieces from fabric left over from some other sewing projects. After completing the first one, I was able to put these together fairly quickly. These can also be made a little larger to use with tea bags. These could also be used for someone who likes to carry their own sweetener packets with them. Our wallets contained a gift card for our recipients. For more handmade…

Handmade Christmas: Doll Bed
Posted in Homemaking
A couple of months ago, I found two brand new doll beds at the thrift store. They were less than $4 a piece, so I snatched them both up.

Munchkin and I decided that we would give this white metal bed to my niece. It didn’t have a mattress or any…

I checked the pattern and found that we had…
Sewing Camp Ends…

…alas, my little girl is highly disappointed that sewing camp is over. (She also doesn’t want me to post pictures of the boxers she made yesterday or the “big shorts” that she made today. Apparently, that would be embarrassing???) Anyway, they’re cute. They ended the day with a big pizza party which was a lot of fun. She wanted to go to the next sewing camp that is in July, but VBS is that week. She decided that VBS was more important. They do have sewing classes one Saturday a month though, so she may take those. Yesterday, I took…
