Every year the place where my Mom lives has a Christmas Bazaar and a percentage of the money they make goes towards a charity. So my Mom usually makes something to sell.
I found these cool placemat purses and I'm in love with them. So we're going to try them out. Here is a pattern for them but honestly its so easy even a person who doesn't sew could do this. Here are easy step by step directions for the purses on the left. Oh and you don't have to sew them either, you could use sewing glue. Its called OK to Wash glue.
So tomorrow we're going shopping for cheap placemats and we'll probably buy a few belts for handles, we'll also use ribbon. I don't think unless I was making it for someone special or myself would I actually buy purse handles. But that's just me. I'm going to make these for my MIL and SIL.
I chickened out on the Duvet.
I had my Mom help me, well help me might be over-stating it, since I was more the helper and she was the maker.
But I did hold the fabric and run for things she needed. Oh and I totally sewed (sewed? is that right? It doesn't look right.) the buttons on the inside, all 6 of them!
Now I think it needs matching shams. Don't you?
The comforter I bought my daughter about 5 months ago was cheap. Not cheap as in money but cheap as in cheaply made. In fact its so cheap that after about 3 washings all the batting (stuffing) inside has slid around and made it look funky. So I am going to TRY to make her a duvet cover for her old comforter. My daughter loves all things Chinese. First she picked the blue fabric and then we picked the gold for the other side. I've had the fabric for a week now but I'm scared to cut it in half out of fear I'll mess something up. I could ask my Mom to do it, but I'd rather do it myself.
Anyway, this is the fabric what do you think?
