Collegiate Trash Bag

My friend, Lauren, loves OSU! Go Cowboys! She had some leftover fabric from a previous project and asked me to make her a trash bag for her car.  I think it turned out awesome!!  I love my One Yard Wonders book!


Repurposed magazine rack

When my Meemaw passed away last year, I wanted this magazine rack from her house.  I wasn't sure at the time what I was going to do with it, but knew I could do something.  My mom and I always like to go to antique malls/craft stores and we always see things that have been redone similar to this.  I decided to use it in my girls' room for some of their books.  They books, however, just stacked up from the bottom and were hard to get to so I made a fabric sling for it.  I think it turned out nice!  It used to be a dark brown color and my girls picked out this lavender color.

Memory Game

I wanted to find something quiet and new for the girls to do on the airplane this summer for our trip to OK.  They  recently got a Strawberry Shortcake Memory Game as a gift and loved it!  I had some extra coordinating fat quarters so I made 2 sets out of that and a little matching drawstring back for each.  It was awesome on the airplane! Perfect size for the trays, quiet and they wanted to play it over and over.  All in all, a success!
