Laptop Cover

A few months back I got a new laptop...

mainly because my old one was destroyed by a little man.

I didn't have a cover of the laptop

but didn't want to purchase a plain ol' black one.

So what does a crafty lady do???

MAKE HER OWN!!

Now this is not a tutorial by any means...

just a little bit on how i created my cover!

First I measured the width, length and depth of the laptop...

decided I would use some scraps I had from Wyatt's quilt

pieced them together

ironed a piece of fusible fleece to the back...

attached a piece of knit fabric (Rst)

and then stitched 3 sides together

flipped it right side out

covered the raw edge with some cute binding

folded right sides together

stitched the bottom edge and one long side

inverted and

shzam!!! a new laptop cover!

Again not the hardest project in the book

but definitely a cute one!!

Happy Sewing!

Nice Washcloths for Young Kiddos

Apparently we have mean washcloths at our home...

now i am not exactly sure what a "mean" cloth is but

that is the word my son uses to describe our washcloths.

Luckily Becky from Becky Ann Designs

helped to solve the mean washcloth problem.

Becky gave Wyatt two flannel washclothes and soap

she made for Christmas.

Below is one of the two...

I sent her a message on FB to find out exactly what she did,

since i didn't want my little man going around telling everyone

about our extremely mean washcloths.

I was amazed by the simple nature of these washcloths

and wondered why I had made these before...

umm...I thought I was crafty!

Well yesterday (snow day 4) Wyatt and I sat down 

to make a bunch so he didn't have to suffer anymore!

He helped me pick out the fabrics 

attempted to help cut with his John Deere pilers

and then sat on my lap as we stitched them together.

We now have an even dozen NICE washcloths.

This would make a great beginner project for someone interested

in getting started sewing...

I will post a tutorial soon...

really its easy peasy!!

Please forgive the photo quality...my digital is broken..won't charge AT ALL

and these were taken with my camera photo!
