Fridays Stash Project - Totes, Totes and More Totes

Nothing is as simple to make as a tote, the perfect 'stash' project. 

There is a tote for just about any purpose.  The following link has tutorials on totes from stash and totes from repurposed items such as tank tops.

Then I found PURSE PATTERNS with tons of free patterns for purses, wallets and more.

Then I found this cute Crayon Tote above.



You can also try the Crayon Roll

There are tons of Tote ideas out there, I hope you'll find one that suits you for a new project or gift.

Scrappy Friday Project

These litle Hair Bobs are the perfect in Scrap Stash Projects and they take only minutes to make.


You'll need:

2 children's hair clips
2 buttons from  your button stash
2 Fabric Scraps 3"x3"
Thread and needle
Hot Glue Gun

Choose something to use for a template and cut out two circles twice the size that you want your final project o be.  What you are making is called a yo-yo







With a basting stitch, by hand turn about 1/4 inch and bast around the entire circle.








Now pull the thread and close the circle tight and bind off.







Lay the yo-yo flower flat wih he gathers in the center.







Now you can choose and sew a button of your choice in the cener of the gathered opening.  See top picture.


I sewed the Child's hair clip to the back of the yo-yo flower.


This is a very cute and easy project inspired my project above.  Adapt for children or adults.  The original instructions are found on this site.  http://justcallmechris.blogspot.com/2011/01/diy-bobby-pins.html
