Love this simple pattern, can't wait to sew a few more :)
Many Thanks to my cute Model!

20 drops citronella essential oil
20 drops lemongrass essential oil

Remedy #2
Crush a few lemon balm leaves in your hand and rub them over your skin. You’ll have a wonderful lemony smell that mosquitoes can’t stand.
You will need:
1 pair of Adult knee-high socks , make sure they have a nice stretch and are not too tight (I try them on my forearm)
This pair came from the Dollar Store.
Cut off the heel part and shorten as needed. No Hemming required, the socks curl up at the cut end which gives them a finished look
Add 1 pair of baby legs. Done!
Cut felt sheets into 1 inch (roughly) strips
Tie the strips in the middle, don't pull too tight
Choose a thicker thread
(I used button thread) and start stringing the ties
Tie string into a loop at each end and display!
I had intended this as a swag for the fire place, but that was too tempting for a little 14 mos old :)
Sin sin, níl aon scéal eile agam
Playing around with a few patterns, lots more to try :)
I am determined to lower my fabric stash, especially my
fabric scraps stash (try that 3 times fast).
My first scrap pillows of the year.
A frugal alternative to disposable mop pads.
You will need:
- 1 disposable mop pad as guide
- flannel material (or an absorbent material of your choice)
- Sew-on Velcro
Fold your flannel twice, so that you have 4 layers
Use the disposable pad as a cutting guide, add 1/2 inch, cut around pad
Sew around the outline of the fabric leaving a small opening for turning. If you have a serger, you can serge around the fabric.
Clip extra fabric, turn and run a stitch around the entire fabric
Check where to add your Velcro strips, you will only be using the soft Velcro loops side
Stitch down Velcro
You are finished!
