{a little bit of craftiness...}

oops - almost forgot to blog today, but i'm sneaking this in at 11:55pm :)

wanted to share a sewing project that i put together as a downloadable "Class" for the Fiskars Crafts website...

it's a soft quilted baby-book filled with lots of bright colors and pics of evan's (or your baby's!) family.

this little book uses photo transfer paper (my fave!), basic sewing/quilting supplies, some alphabet stamps, and allows you to use-up tons of leftover fabric scraps when putting together each page.

and.  i have to say that evan absolutely LOVES looking at his book:

That's awesome, Susan. Wonderful idea, colors, photos. And so user friendly for a reader his age who probably likes to rip regular book pages apart. You rock. :)

Love this adorable quilted book! I'm always looking for new ways to use my accumulation of fabric scraps! This could be just the thing to use them on! I love hand sewn gifts for baby showers too! It means so much more! Thanks for the fun sewing idea for kids!
