I haven’t sewn for a while. I made the kids’ little quilts for them when they were very little, and a queen-sized jeans quilt for hubby about a year or so ago, but since then…not a lot!
To side-track a bit, our Library has a little puppet theater that the kids can play with. It’s the first thing our kids navigate to when we go there (forget looking at the books, they want the puppets!) so I have been dying to get them one of their own.
I searched today for a theater and some puppets. Most options are expensive…it’s crazy! But I finally found the CUTEST little free pattern at ‘Sweetie Pie Bakery’…check out this picture…
The gal that made this pattern also has an Etsy shop, and I am horribly addicted to Etsy so I went to check it out. She sells the cutest little felt patterns there, and some pre-made cuteness (like the candies below!).
I wish I was creative enough to think up something like this! I might be, I don’t know, haven’t tried it for a while. :-) My next project with it will hopefully be the kids’ puppets, and then someday the sock monkeys I never finished.
(those should be cute…I bought stripey tube-socks to make them with! *smiles*)
Anyway I hope you all had a lovely weekend. :-) Talk with you again soon!
Great blog. Oriental Traders has lots of great inexpensive puppets and puppet sets. Cafe Curtains or pillow cases with a casing sewn in them would also work well on a tension rod across a door.
