A few months ago, we brought out our never-before-used sewing machines to figure out how they worked. Rachel's got put away and Jenni's saw a brief use, twice. We had talked about being crafty, but nothing ever came of it.
Christmas was coming and Rachel wanted to make Corn heating bags for gifts. She bought corn first. 50 pounds! What? Yes, 50. It was cheaper to buy a 50lb bag, then to buy 3 10lbs bags. Then came the fabric purchases. She bought muslin. She didn't know how much to get, so she got 6 yards. What? Yes, 6 yards. And then, the figuring out of what the heck we were doing. Once we started we realized that it wasn't that hard after all.
It was fun. Chaotic. Just Plain Crazy.
We ended up making 20 bags! It was a great time and we ended up making a beautiful, useful and well made gift for a great price.
LOVE the fabric!!!
