Watch out Very Bradley here I come.
Okay not quite.
But I am getting the hang of this sewing thing.
My beautiful niece Sarah is turning fourteen four in just a few weeks and I am helping with her tea party.
To practice some sewing skills I decided to try to make these cute little love letter wristlets.
Tutorial Here. I did make mine just a bit smaller since it was for little ones.
They are intended to look like envelopes.
Perfect for a bunch of toddlers to stuff full of chap stick, jewelry & more.
Each one is a little different and way cuter than regular plastic favor bags plus just as inexpensive.
They cost just under a $1 a piece to make.
My mother-in-law had just given me a huge tin full of her mother-in-laws buttons.
I spent hours having fun sorting through the buttons and organizing them.
I had so much fun imagining what Grandma Elle was planning to do with all the buttons.
Some were so elegant and beautiful and must have come off something special.
I thought they would be perfect for a closure on the envelopes.
I am now wondering if the girls are going to be able to get them open.
Uh Oh!
So then I decided to make a regular little pouch with a zipper.
I may have to make a few more of these for the little gals that won't be able to do the buttons.
More time at the sewing machine.
Too bad. :)
