Wipe Board

This was our other project for Parents Night for Kassie's preschool.
One of the other moms works at our local hardware store & cut up some of this wipe board for us.
I cut out the kids' names & a few shapes with my cricut. I used vinyl.
On the bottom, I sewed a cushion pillow & stuffed it. At the meeting the moms glued them on.




This is Rando. He didn't do anything. He sure is cute though.

Finished I Spy Bags

So here they are...Done! Please excuse the sloppy sewing. I made 12 for Kassie's preschool & a bunch more for my mom.


Tip: when sewing the vinyl window, I taped it on the wrong side of the fabric with masking tape, sewed it & then pulled the tape off. I thought it was pretty easy once I did that.

I ended up using Polly Pellets for the filling. I used about 2 cups.

With the leftover square from the window, I made a handle.

For the back, I used some printable fabric from WalMart (back in the craft section..with the iron-on paper).

I Spy Bags

I Spy Bags
I'm (attempting) to make some I spy bags for my mom's work and for next months activity during our Head Start Parent's Night. Here's what I've done.
they are going to end up being appx. 8"X 8"
I make two 81/2 X 8 1/2 squares. Then I cut out a 4 X 4 square from the center of one.
Then I made diagonal 1/4 inch slits in each corner of the square. I folded them outward and ironed them down.
Here's Kassie Dawn helping me out. She brings her little desk in and draws me pictures while I do my stuff. She asks me LOTS of questions and sings me songs. She is a very good helper.
This is as far as I've gotten. I ran out of materials. My mom sent me some stuff so I'll update the post when I get it.

Fat Pants Bag

So...Fat girl here went on a diet a few months ago and I've lost about 20-25 lbs (depending on how piggie I'm being). I decided I needed to retire my FAT PANTS so this is what I did.
I found these directions on the simplicity site here and I went wild! (I made each of the kids one to use as their church/car bags. They put in paper, pens, books, candy to keep them entertained. They are truly the PERFECT size). I ordered the appliques off the internet (I know, I'm so creative).
This one is mine. I use it as my purse. I know, not that stylish but it really is good to have. I how wide it is. It seems like I can fit everything I need in it without it feeling enormous.

This one I made for the Randy Man to use as his diaper bag/ whatever else the little fart needs bag.
