Recycled Slipper Tutorial

http://sewgreen.blogspot.com/2007/07/recycled-slipper-tutorial.html I am going to show you one slipper. Once finished you will make the other by reversing the pattern pieces, we don't want two of the same do we? From the woolen blanket cut out one sole and one of each top piece.

The Creative Place

http://thecreativeplace.blogspot.com/2010/02/ive-been-trying-to-decide-on-what-to.html I've been trying to decide on what to make my hubby for a Valentine's gift and decided that I wanted to write more than a letter - so I decided to make him a mini journal / album / book of things I love about him, different memories I have of our life together, things like that (hopefully he won't read this before next weekend ;)). I found this fab tutorial awhile back about button and string closure and somehow wanted to incorporate it, thus I came up with this fun journal - it has a vintage feel - the button and string closure, and a bunch of found papers inside, including old school writing pages, graph paper and strategically cut magazine pages.

Pleated tote (beach bag) tutorial

Before we went away, I decided that a new bag for the beach was a must – something big and roomy to hold books, magazines, sunscreen, hats, and all that other good stuff. http://www.thimble.ca/?p=2903
