simple canvas

I have tons of scrap fabric and Ive seen other things on pinterest like this one by making a canvas of your own. I used the top of a shoe box and covered it with a felt-like fabric.

 
Then added a few pictures..
 
And hung it up in my sons room :)

sweater sleeves to leg warmers

 
I was looking in the "church clothes" section of my closet (which I never use by the way)
and I came across this brown crocheted sweater which I will NEVER wear. Just not my style.
so I thought LEG WARMERS. I cut off the sleves and used fabric sissors to do so, much more even cut and wil prevent "fabric rolling."
So After cutting the sleeves off I also cut off the buttons down the front. There were 4.
I measured the warmers accordingly then slit a line down where it would lie on the side of your leg. Dont know if that makes sence but you know what I mean .....
I then hand sewed two buttons vertical  to one another on the left side of the slit. Do so for each one, then cut two tiny slits on the opposite side for the button to slide through.
 
 

           not bad not bad. and theyll keep my legs warm in this freezing weather. Ill deff. be making another, better, pair of these soon!
