"Oh WOW I love these adorable coasters that resemble quilting and love that they are so easy to make. This is a great way to use up those fabric stashes or even fat quarters. You can make them to match your decor or a friends. The coasters will make super gifts for anyone or make some to give away as hostess gifts or prizes. Great way to teach someone to sew too. It also has a video too. Can not wait to try it."

"This one yard baby tunic is just too cute. There is a free printable pattern for 0 to 3 months size and instructions that seem easy to follow and best of all no zippers or buttons! A light weight fabric in an adorable nursery print would be perfect for this pattern."

"What a unique idea and a great way to use up all those lace trimmings. I might use some soft white cotton or linen as a foundation to sew the all those laces onto for a more summery feel. Nice scrappy fabric project. I like the idea of using the finished project as a shawl too."

"I make these totes all the time. They are so super easy and I have used leather before and as long as you use a leather needle it is not that bad so the applique will not be that bad to do. I like that you can adjust the pattern to what size you like by changing the pieces. I have not done any handles on the outside yet but I like this look and I also love the bow on the one handle and you can even do on on the other too. Such a great tote to carry any where."

"I have made several covers for travel pack tissues to use as stocking stuffers and to include in dorm room personal care packages and they always are much appreciated. Easy beginning sewing project too. Add a little embellishment like decorative buttons, tiny ribbon roses or simple embroidery for extra pizazz."

I have never seen this idea before and I love it! A possible alternative for a teen might be using the front of t-shirts that have seen better days, or even the backs, that display clubs and events from their school days, like the similar quilts do. But the flow of these hankies give a nice feminine flow! Cute idea, thanks for sharing!

Oh my goodness, this is absolutely adorable! I don't normally wear an apron when I cook, but this makes me want to start.

I love to give aprons as gifts because I think people would use them more if they actually had an apron hanging in their kitchen. Pretty aprons like this one made from vintage hankies would be perfect for special occasions, I can see some vintage Christmas hankies or perhaps some in fall colors for Thanksgiving. The pattern is very simple and would be a thoughtful gift for a sister or best friend.
