Gift Card Cozy

Do you ever find yourself scrambling through your purse looking for that gift card you know is somewhere in there? I can never remember if the one I am seeking is one of the few that make my wallet bulge, or if it is floating somewhere in a purse pocket, the middle console of my car, or even back home in my top drawer...

Well this has been the answer to my problem:

The Gift Card Cozy!

I made mine out of some extra decor fabric I had on hand. Then I rifled through my ribbon bin and found a textured ribbon that I thought fit. And finally, I hand stitched on little velcro dots so that the cards won't slide out!

My gift card search is an organized process these days...

I would suggest trying this one out yourself.

It took me maybe ten minutes to make and has probably already saved me ten minutes of searching!

Wee Wee Wigwam :)

I meant to do a full tutorial, but I forgot to take pictures the whole time...

Here is my version of the "Wee Wee Wigwam or "Pee Pee Teepee." These are becoming more and more popular as protection for moms and dads against their little boys.

I used some boyish looking material for the outside, and the softest fleece I could find for the inside!

I started by cutting out my fabric to the template of a bowl from our kitchen. Just use anything you can find with ~6" diameter. Then, cut the circle in half to form a half circle :)

Sew around the curve, right sides together, of course!

Then, iron out the curve.

Finally, sew a single line connecting the two sides to form a teepee shape. I did a second zig zag stitch just to secure it, but you don't have to.

Sewing projects do not get easier than this, and it is a fun thing to give away at baby showers!
