A simple make for the shoeboxes

Found these kraft matchboxes in Colemans Warehouse  and thought good size for a little sewing kit. The boxes have been simply decorated and a coating of modge podge gloss for a bit of durability.  Inside are 4 card bobbins with different colour threads, a homemade needle and pin matchbook, white buttons, safety pins and they will also have a measuring tape. Scissors will be in the separate sewing bag!

Lent Projects #3

These are a sample of the sewing and craft kits.  They still need scissors and actual little sewing kits to finish them completely. There's 12 craft, some of which could be suitable for boys and 9 sewing bags.

Lent Project #2

Finally finished knitting this sleeping bag for a doll I purchased last year.  A small project really but it took for ever, not helped by reading the pattern wrong and then losing my place! But satisfied it's done.  Have also brought a feeding bottle to put in the shoebox with her.

Lent project #1 part 2

The final 3 little bag's covered. Will give thought as to what to put inside.

 

Lent project #1

A little slow to get off the mark, but I have made a start on this years giving time to make things to include in the OCC shoebox appeal. These had a popular brand name on that I needed to cover. Three down 3 to go, not sure what I'll put in them yet.

Project #2

I I brought this blank frame a while ago from the pound man at one of the Birmingham shows. I originally had in my mind something along the idea of seasons. But then I watched a talented lady on you tube  alittleshabbychic, and I was inspired to at least paint it white and started to look for pretty papers. At the craft shows last year I picked up the B and D again from the poundman! I do like a bargain, it was when I was moving things around yet AGAIN I popped these into the frame out the way and I knew I'd use them with it. Even the little white frames where a pack from the pound man.

Project #1

Started some time ago, finished off last week. Not quite how I wanted them to turn out but happy to have them done. MDF blanks from www.inkydoodles.co.uk.
