POTHOLDER OR HOT PAD
The embroidery hoop was made from the lip and outer lid of an extra large sour cream container. The edge of the potholder was finished off with machine top stitching. Stitching patterns and basics can be easily found on the web.

 

SPOOL KNITTING AND WIRE

Ok, so you taught how to use a spool knitter. What next? One idea is wire art. Here is a super simple wall hanging or ornament with spool knitted yarn and a wire insert to shape with. Letters make an interesting project, too.

TOP STITCHED DISH TOWEL

Made from durable aida cotton fabric. Another beginner project for sewing machine practice.

KNITTED POT HOLDER, WOVEN OR CROCHETED COASTERS

Can't have enough of these in the kitchen. More good beginner projects. Practice getting a smooth even shape.

KNITTED BEAD BAG 

For a more advanced project, after learning how to increase and decrease. Embellished with a knitted flower, it also makes an interesting handbag.

Krishna dolls

Homemade or bought, Krishna dolls give a variety of opportunities for playful service. Here paper crowns were made and tissue paper garlands, a belt with bells, a painted back drop and other deity ornaments made from play clay and beads, etc.. All fun projects for children.

Two much older dolls from a personally sewn set are found here (scroll down a bit):  http://homeworks108.blogspot.com/2010/06/homemade-fun.html

Homemade Stamps

Children love these. They are made from cut outs in craft foam glued to bottle caps. I also saved foam from a computer part box. It worked perfectly. For ink we simply painted on acrylic paints.The large leaf stamp at the bottom was used as is, without a bottle cap.
