Sew Dang Cute Crafts: Felt Mr. Potato Head
As soon as I saw this idea for a Felt Mr. Potato Head on Make It and Love It , I loved it and knew it would be perfect for my kids and I would have to make it. I made one for each of my three kiddos.

Make a Perpetual Button Calendar for 2011 (and Beyond)
<img alt="" src="http://makezineblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/perpetual_calendar_final.jpg?w=629&h=491" width="629" height="491" class="mt-image-none" style="" /> By Diane Gilleland I know calendars (and clocks and address books) are quickly becoming computer-centric tools, but I like the old-school charm of this desk calendar. Make it once, and you can use it forever – just move the numbers to their correct location each month, and change the nameplate!
Designer Deb Jensen kept in mind kids of all ages when she created these tiny music player totes in iota fabrics by Kelly Alford for Robert Kaufman. With the swivel hook that snaps onto jeans or totes, your music will go where you go. You'll want to make oodles for gifts or fashion accessories in today's bright paisleys, polka dots, or florals.
Sew a Playful iPod Holder
Hello and Happy Spring everyone! I just finished this pincushion from a jar! Here's the tutorial: Have you seen these new Ball® Wide Mouth Contemporary Styled Glass Preserving Jars? I love this little Half Pint size, especially if you turn it into a pincushion. I realize this is not a new idea and there are lots of instructions available for converting a jar lid into a pincushion, but I think maybe I should give you my version!
