(unless you are me and decide your boy needs plaid curtains then you drive yourself crazy making sure the stripes match up from side to side--45 minutes of measuring, 10 minutes of sewing.)<br /><br />The gym bag was easy too-a very simple pouch with a shoelace drawstring.<br /><br />PJ pants are a good first project for learning to read patterns. I like to make PJ pants from vintage sheets I find at the second hand store. You can get really funky colours and patterns and they are perfectly soft and comfy--and cheap!<br /><br />My most recent sewing project was a tent for our new pet rats--that was a bit more challenging, but it is so cute to see their little faces poking out of the opening in their cage.

I really, really should though... maybe I'll be motivated if I set myself to make something for the new baby's room?A Gamer's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291255836474915117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605804213322687879.post-23033325187915312012014-04-17T08:42:33.698-05:002014-04-17T08:42:33.698-05:00Ha!

(I did the same thing with gym bags this year--it was easier to dive into my fabric stash and whip up some little drawstring pouches than it was to go to Walmart) Very nice basket and I'll bet he will use that until he's too old for Easter Egg hunts. <br /><br />Happy Easter to you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02829064350820161435noreply@blogger.com
