Time for an Update!
It’s been long overdue for a new blog post! So there are some obvious changes and mainly I have a new domain name! Fraftgal.com! I came up with this name when I realized I write not only about crafts, but also food. And I like to keep things frugal when crafting, hence Fraftgal! I’ve been working on a lot of crafts over the holiday break, and VERY soon I will have my Etsy store up and running.
I also hope to post AT LEAST once a week, and will be joining the WordPress Post a Week challenge.
In the meantime until I get things flowing and straightened out here, check out some of the things I’ve made recently:
iPod touch Case made from thrift store pajama fabric
Bought some SpongeBob pajamas at a thrift shop a while ago, and they were too small, so I’ve been using the fabric to make crafts. Here’s an iPod touch case I made for Chrsitmas for my best friend (who got the Touch for Christmas). It’s thinly padded and has a satin liner, elastic opening and a loop-button closure.
OK, so I designed this but my mom sewed it up (Thank you Mom!) But now I’ll have to figure out how to do it on my own, because I have some great fabric to use to make more of these (who wants an iPod case???).
Hand Embroidery
I did the stitching around Spongebob and Patrick
There’s a pocket on the back for earbuds!
Here’s a crochet needle case my mom sewed up for me with the rest of the SpongeBob Pjs and some other leftover fabric I had lying around.
It rolls up nicely like this!
Now here are two things I made ALL by myself:
A nice warm wool beanie for a friend
And some leg warmers for myself with the leftover yarn!
I am so impressed by your creativity and sewing skills!!! I have seen people make roll up holder things similar to the one your mom made you but smaller- for holding crayons in a diaper bag so they don’t all break or fall out of the box. If you ever want to send a project to Buffalo that would be our request!
Also love how you thought of everything with the Touch case- satin liner, padding, ear bud pocket. Love it!
Thanks Sally! That is a great idea! I could definitely make something like that! Anything in particular you’d want it to look like, what kind of fabric would you want? What kinds of things are your little guys into? And I am definitely going to make something for you as well!
