Memory Pillows

Memory Pillows

I started making these Memory Pillows that I just love. Memory Pillows to keep anyone you love, or have loved and lost, close to your heart. People drop off or mail me their clothes and I turn them into cherished pillows. 

I love the embroidery some people want the same others want something a little different. 

These are great for when someone is traveling or the kids miss their grandparents or the grandparents miss the grandkids. I know my parents do. They are also great for graduation gifts, so someone can have it at College.  

I feel people are really enjoying the idea of these pillows and once they actually see theirs made they are going to be so happy.

Mini tote bag instructions

Cut two pieces of material 

8"wide by 9" high 

Cut two handles

To desired lenght 

Stitch around three sides, make sure you backstitch at the beginning and end.

Fold the corners into a triangle to form the bottom. For this size I did two inches from the center of the needle to the tape. ( I like to use the tape when teaching these so both sides are the same.)

Fold the top over double 1/2" and pin handles in place. 

Stitch across top, make sure you secure handles by going back and forth a couple of times on each.

You are done! Congratulations.

Senior Bibs

Here is my latest creation senior bibs. I just love them, I'm making them in solid colors and whatever theme someone wants. I thought they would be great as lobster bibs bibs so you don't ruin your shirts.
