Christmas Bag

This is an unexpected Christmas bag . I had two pieces I machine knitted to make pillow casings.
Then I decided I can make a bag out of them.So I crocheted a green strip to sew around it with a shoulder strap
It still needs a lining and a lining for the strap so it doesn't stretch. It also needs three big buttons in front and maybe a felt Santa or snow man in the front for decoration. So far, I like what I did.

I might add some pockets to the lining for glasses, keys, phone, and calculator, maybe even a mirror and a pocket for aspirin or vitamins.lol

Something like this, since it's red and white, can also easily be turned into a
good Red Cross bag with many different bandages, peroxide, iodine, hot and cold pads, sun screen, etc....

It's also good to use for over night sleep overs, as a book bag, a lap top carrier, or as a present bag.
Instead of paper, you give something, in something else, a person can use.

So many things can be made out of squares. Toilet paper holders for Christmas with a little ribbon and lace around would definitely enrich any ones' powder room.

Machine knitting is fun and now using felt to make pictures on pieces you knit,
can make you nice projects all around.

Well........who said life is boring eh? lol

Have a great day everyone.:)

Felt Craft

I also had to try these.
I went to Walmart and got a few pieces of felt. They are like 25 cents a piece.
made my own pattern, cut it out and sewed these cool little new born shoes.

They also were so much fun to make and the fact they look like shoes,
make me feel I could become a shoe maker if I wanted to.
They can also be used on dolls and since
I am dying to make a Raggedy Anne
I most certainly can now make her a nice pair of shoes to match.
I finally got a new digital memory card so I can take a few shots download them and then erase the memory card.
This way I don't have to wait hours to download a few shots.

I have more projects I did for babies.
I am WAAAAY ahead as I think I better do them now before I go senile or something lol
I don't expect to have any grandchildren for a very long time. lol
but I treasure what my Grandmother gave me. She left her mark behind and I see her making it and it makes all the difference.
