drawstring potato goodness

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Alright, so I couldn’t just throw out that cute potato stamp. Instead, I got another use out of it. Not quite as cute as the skirt, but I thought it came out ok. I made this drawstring bag to house our fabric paints. I used an old khaki pant leg of my husbands. (it had already been cut off!) It’s sturdy enough to hold a lot of things! I am happy with it, although not completely thrilled. I do like the yellow dots. (made those with a pencil eraser)

I made my first hat! I used this video tutorial from Threadbanger.com. (love them!!) I used an old white sweater I picked up from the Salvation Army for about $1 a few months ago. I left the raw edge on the outside for a little more interest. It took about two hours start to finish since I had to improvise some of the instructions due to using a sweater that was a bit too small. But I think it turned out alright for my first try… I’ve already got “orders” to make some for The Hubs and his friend.
