It's been so long....


It's a New Year & now that there's finally free time, I can do a bit of posting. These pic's are of "taggie" toys I made as part of my sweet baby twin nephews' Christmas package (from the Simple Sewing book - fabric from Superbuzzy & Fiber Notion)
&


some tricked out hot pads I just completed. (click on the picture for a larger view.) The fabric is a Japanese import from Superbuzzy that I just love, but had no use for yet, & the hot pads are from Mom's give-away pile a few years back. I made the fabric into bias binding & stitched it on through the pad from front to back to secure - easy since it was so soft. The hang tag was applied to the bias & hot pad first so it's rough edges could be totally hidden. Viola! hang-able & cute.
