Gotta Great Idea?!

Mom & Me Camp (by request)
Hey Moms & Daughters - create a special memory together making matching (or not!) tote bags for those trips to the Library, keeping music books together on the way to lessons, being "green" shoppers, keeping "essentials" in one place in the car . . . or, aprons to craft together or have fun in the kitchen together!
Backpack: Choose 1/2 yard of canvas-type home dec/upholstery fabric, 1 1/2 yards of 1" wide cotton webbing, and any embellishments you want to decorate it with (ribbon, faux fur, iron-on appliques).
Apron: Buy a solid color tea towel (Ben Franklin or Quilt Shop), coordinating extra wide double-fold seam binding, matching thread and 1/2 yd. of fabric for pockets. OR, make a full reversible apron (3/4 yd.of two coordinating fabrics, two pkg. of extra wide double-fold seam binding, matching thread).
Best of all . . . enjoy tea and scones for a 10:30 break!

The class is really nice because you learn a whole bunch of things about sewing - I really liked making a nightie! And I like making crafts I can take home.

I love 'Fabrics on Mill Street' and picking out my own fabric!
