Making a play toaster; a journey! First, I've taken an empty box that was a right size for a toaster. I took some measurements (they were too tight, btw) I cut my sides and bottom and top I've cut the tops and put them away I've taken the top and marked my holes I verified if the toast I made was passing through... I took a left out and marked the inbetweens to strengthen the top Glued with Modpogde. I started sewing Then did so fitting and realized it would be too small so I cheated And it served me good since I took the needed cardboard to divide the toaster So the toasts don't get lost... I've pinned the top and got back at sewing But the uncarboarded side looked weird So I've put in another rectangle of cardboard to straighten it a bit Then I marked were my popcycle sticks would go, carefully noting a spot where the toast would be hidden before poping I've inserted the sticks...
Grilling... ...Poped! But to give a more finished look I sew 2 little rectangles together ...Gives a much more finished look. Felt Tray. Monday Project - Play Kitchen Oven Mitts.

... A tutorial! It's been a while, huh? I love giving my kids homemade gifts, and decided to make some Menus for Bug {E’s} Restaurant – the kid loves to ‘cook’ all day in her kitchen. Supplies: 2 fat quarters – one each for front and back Inkjet Printable Fabric sheet Lightweight fusible interfacingMedium weight fusible interfacingBasic sewing supplies - thread, machine, rotary cutter, ruler & mat, etc. I made my menu template in Microsoft Word. Peel backing paper away and trim to size. Cut 2” strips from one of your fat quarters. Repeat for top and bottom. I trimmed mine down a little here, to measure 6” x 7”. Attach lightweight fusible interfacing to these pieces following interfacing ironing recommendations. With remaining fat quarter, attach medium weight interfacing to back and cut pieces to match menu front (6” x 7”).
With right sides together, stitch, leaving a 3” opening for turning. Using a crochet hook, poke corners out to lay flat. Almost done! Sew a Straight Line: For the little chef. Beth at Project:Project is a veritable font of knowledge when it comes to high quality handmade play things. Her blog and amazing Etsy shop, Lemon Cadet, have been featured in all sorts of magazines and a variety of websites. I mean the girl makes her own miniature furniture! So when she asked me to participate in her Play Eats feature, I was kind of stoked.
I actually had an idea in my head for a few months, so when she emailed me, it took me no time at all to reply I had the perfect thing: pots and pans. Using some scraps and button covers, I whipped up a stock pot and sauté pan for my boys. And my kids seemed to like them, too. They each have a lid with an easy to grab knobby handle The sauté pan has a long handle off to one side And the stockpot has two handles, one on each side, making them even more like the real thing And of course, a non-stick coating on the inside for all those hard-to clean messes So let’s make some pots and pans! Place the back of the button on top of that Turn.
