Crafty Adventures
Spent Black Friday sewing with my best friend Kris
I made a pillowcase using this tutorial from Notes from the Patch blog
I also made drawstring bags for my 3 nephews to put their crocheted toys in.
Kris made a pillow from one of Aila’s favoriate dresses with a pocket made out of her old giraffe PJs. Learned how to make an invisible zipper. Link to video she used that had good instruction.
