Beach Bag Fix

October 27, 2017 By: Amy Tragercomment

My uncle sewed a beach bag as Christmas presents for my mom about 30 years ago.  This yellow and gray bag went with us everywhere.  It is the bag of my childhood, made of yellow canvas and jeans, I think. When my mom showed me how the handles were ... [ Read More ]

Table cloth, version 2

October 13, 2017 By: Amy Tragercomment

  I had a beautiful, hand stitched tablecloth in my stash of awesome things in the basement.(It might be vintage? I don't know. It looks old.) I can't remember where I got it; maybe at some yard sale. It had some rips and stains, but I ... [ Read More ]

Weighted Blanket for my sis

Last year, my sister mentioned that she wanted a weighted blanket, like the ones doctors recommend to people with autism, anxiety or insomnia.  She’s always loved blankets (me too) and those heavy corn/ rice packs that can be warmed up in the microwave (me too).   Knowing that her birthday was coming up, I looked at buying […]
