My newest little obsession. I stumbled across this blog a few days ago and have fallen in love. Our goal for this holiday is to make most of our gifts or give "experience" gifts (theater tickets, museum memberships) for friends and family. I love this little fake food. Mine is made out of inexpensive crappy felt squares you can find anywhere. The kids love it. I love it. It's so completely blissful to me to do the same monotonous motion of hand sewing. I get lost in the tiny stitches and the spacing between them. I love that in 10-15 minutes and can dream up, start and finish an entire little project. I ordered a craft book on ebay with lots more ideas. If you know me IRL don't be surprised if your kids end up with a big grocery sack of felt food from me. Who knew a unedible sugar cookie could be so satisfying? See less

Wrap up your bath time with this�classic terrycloth monogrammed bathwrap! Great for the girl who doesn't want a lot of frill - just a simple way to add some interest in the morning. Velcro closure holds it all together. Simple white with grosgrain ribbon detail in black and white polka dot. Enter First Name or Monogram. For monogram enter 3 initials. The center letter is taller than the others; the order of initials is traditionally first/last/middle.

Pillow at top uses English Rose Wool Blend Felt, Cinnamon Paisley- Evelyn as applique background, Coral Watercolor- Evelyn for back, and Fuchsia Square Button. Second pillow uses Winter Sky Wool Blend Felt, Sky Wall Flower by Amy Butler for applique, and Grey Passion Vine Nigella on back. | Felt is all the rage right now for its texture and colors. Since it is a nonwoven fiber, it does not ravel, making it great for this reverse applique pillow project. Makes a great personalized gift. | Materials Needed: * felt for front of pillow (1/2 yard or less) * stencils for monogram * pillow form * fabric to cover back of pillow (yardage depends on pillow size- most pillows require 1/2 yard or less) We have a calculator for determining the size of your fabric pieces. * fabric for applique (less than a fat quarter) * small piece of fusible interfacing (such as Pellon 911) for fabric applique (less than a fat quarter) Helpful Materials: * glue stick for holding cut felt to fabric * temporary...

This portable playmat can be used for anything from protecting your carpet to outdoor picnics to a napping blanket. * Cut two squares of fabric for the front and back, each 44" x 44" (so approximately 1-1/4 yards). I decided to use the full width of the fabric, but you can make it whatever size works for you. * Place batting in between the two fabric layers (I used low-loft) and machine stitch around the design or in straight lines. I don't have any great tips for quilting, because I'm not that great at it. But I do start in the middle, my theory being that if I start shifting the fabric badly, I'm not shifting it all the way across the quilt. And I use lots of pins. * After quilting the layers, trim the mat square again. In this case, my finished size was about 42" x 42". * Make binding out of a coordinating fabric or use a pre-fab binding. Cut two strips of binding about 14" long to make ties. Fold in the raw edges on one end and stitch the end and one side. Pin each strip on the... See less

With a ribbon: Take the two pieces of fabric and place the right sides together, with the ribbon between them. Sew the two pieces of fabric together along two of the sides, with a half-inch seam allowance. Leave the shorter side (the bottom) open. Turn the triangle right side out, then use an iron to press the seams together. When you finish the rest of the towel, the loop will be ready to go.
