Sewing Projects

   Yesterday, I sewed up another batch of handkerchiefs. They've proven so popular that I added sixteen more to the eight we already had. No more Kleenex for this house! Seeing as the handkerchiefs were popular, I followed suit with three monogrammed napkins.

                                   

   Although not as neat and tidy as cloth napkins at the store, they do the job wonderfully and didn't cost me a thing to make. Sarah loves that hers is pink and has "her name" on it! If these prove as popular as the handkerchiefs, then I'll be sewing up two dozen to keep on hand. Score another for Mama! One less thing to be bought and thrown away :D

The too small nightgown in my dresser becomes...microfiber dust cloths! Four of them to be exact. Double sided and ready to pick up the mass of cat hair we seem to accumulate from our fine felines. (The sleeves of the same nightgown became a pair of miniature "comfy pants" for Mama's little monkey! Picture to come!)                                                                                                                            

A short double strap purse became a single strap over the shoulder variety. More room for Mama's things! And of course Sarah's things as well. 

Next on my list of sewing projects include tie backs for munchkin's bedroom curtains, and reusable mesh produce bags (no more bringing home unneeded plastic!) 

What's your level of craftiness today?
