Reuse Your Patterns

Reuse, Reduce, Recycle.

Have you ever tried using the clothing patterns that come printed in on tissue paper? Great way to make fun clothing with correct proportions.  But when you are done, sure some people save them, while other people throw them away.

Great way to save the environment just one extra step?  Try using the patterns as packing material.  Works like tissue paper, but it's a fun little surprise.

Flannel Booties for Baby's First Cosplay

I made more baby booties. They are irresistible. This pair just happens to be made of soft green flannel so they will become part of baby's first handmade costume.

I made baby booties!

JoAnn's had patterns on sale for $1 so I picked up McCall's M6342 and a few others to make baby clothes and so far I have had a blast just making a bunch of baby booties!

 

This is a great project for using up scraps because the pattern pieces are so small!
