Retro Tablecloth in an Hour

Retro Tablecloth in an Hour

Sandra May 30, 2012 home / sewing / this and thatOne Comment

  I have to admit that I didn’t care for “retro” when it wasn’t “retro”.  When it was just regular stuff  in the present . . . the present of the past if you know what I mean. I am still horrified when I mix and match prints and stripes …

Pincushions With Personality

Pincushions With Personality

Sandra May 30, 2012 home / other stuff / sewing / this and that / UncategorizedLeave a comment

  We have entered an era when things that were once practical and necessary are simply fun. Pincushions. Pincushions are in that category. Not that women don’t use them because they do but instead of a simple red apple with a stem and a leaf or something resembling a tomato, …

Lindsay’s Baby Quilt

Lindsay’s Baby Quilt

Sandra May 17, 2012 kids / other stuff / sewing / this and thatOne Comment

  Lindsay is clever. And, she is frugal. Wonderful traits to have.  Two little boys will now be followed by one little girl and so the challenge becomes clothes and bedding and curtains and color. Color. Especially color. When she asked me to make a crib quilt I was thrilled. …

Lacing Cards for All Ages

Lacing Cards for All Ages

Sandra May 17, 2012 kids / other stuff / sewing / this and that4 Comments

    Teaching children to be quiet is a tough task. Their little voices are always full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm means “volume”.   Every mother knows how hard it is to keep little children occupied in church. So, when I recently attended the blessing of a new grandson, I …

Leggings Like Magic

Leggings Like Magic

Sandra May 17, 2012 kids / sewing / this and thatLeave a comment

    It was true . . .   The leggings were so easy and so fast. I found many blogs with directions and patterns and pictures. I like pictures. Each one told me exactly how to make the pattern and cut the fabric and sew the leggings. When I …

Marshmallow Skyscrapers

Marshmallow Skyscrapers

Sandra May 4, 2012 home / kids / other stuff / this and thatLeave a comment

  I bought the marshmallows and the toothpicks and hauled out the stale Easter candy which I had saved for just this purpose. The pastel bunnies which were once soft as little lambs were now almost as hard as rocks. Nevertheless, I could see that the flat bottoms on each …

Lacing Cards in a Bag

Sandra May 4, 2012 kids / other stuff / this and thatLeave a comment

  Lacing Cards are easy to make and VERY inexpensive.  They are a mainstay of quiet children’s games and have been for several generations. While the cards themselves keep changing, they can actually be anything you want them to be. I wanted mine to be old-fashioned. I found the images …

Garden Aprons

Garden Aprons

Sandra May 4, 2012 garden / kids / sewing / this and thatLeave a comment

  Garden Aprons. Easy, fun and economical to make. I like to make them out of “duck” (which, when overheard caused a child to ask why I would use a duck and what happened to the feathers?) . . . also known as outdoor fabric. I have found that some …

Magnetic Paper Dolls

Sandra May 1, 2012 kids / other stuff / this and thatLeave a comment

Wee Winnie the Pig I am on a roll. I have always love paper dolls. I have vivid memories of playing with them as a child and making clothes for them out of scraps of paper using crayons. I remember that my prized dolls were kept in a large graham …
