No new pictures lately because I've been busy making Christmas gifts for my mom and mother-in-law. They are finally complete and I'm so excited to share my made-with-love gifts for my family this year. But --- pics will not be posted until after the Holidays so secrets aren't revealed :)
I've also made a couple of newborn hats for some new little girl babies some new friends have had recently. So cute! And so quick to make. Pics will follow soon.

T-shirt scarf!
Did you know there are a bazillion ways to re-use t-shirts!? I'm loving all the ideas I've been finding online of new things to do with old t-shirts.
My favorite is the t-shirt or Infinity scarf. So cute! I had a favorite royal blue maxi dress when I was pregnant with my 4th child. It was SO lightweight and comfortable. After I had my baby, I had my mom turn a few of my old maternity dresses into lightweight summer skirts. Now that summer is over and these dresses/skirts have gotten more than their fair share of wear out of them; it was time to say goodbye to them. But then I found this website:

And I had to try it out. The directions are so simple, and since there is no sewing necessary, it takes less than 5 minutes!
After I cut the skirt, I folded it up towards the seam to make it easier to cut a straight lone.
Unfold to skirt, gather it with one hand holding the weaned edge, and the other hand unwrapping the cut pieces, it will be in a circle shape.
Then pull hard to stretch and the strips will become like little tubes.
Put it on, wrap it around, and enjoy! I know I will!
