More Masks .....

Mouth masks have become a necessity. Why spend money on these when beautiful masks can be easily made at home.

I make these 3-layer fabric masks with a filter between two layers of fabric. It makes it as efficient as a good masks. It is very comfortable and can be washed and reused.

The main feature is that these masks are reversible. The fabric on either side is different and can be matched with different dresses.

Made this mask using white lace on one side over a black fabric to be worn for New year service at church

 

New year gift packed and sent.... 

Rag to a Bag

 After the year end purging, I got a lot of old fabric that could'nt be donated. As, I did'nt want to discard these, I came up up with this idea to bring it to use.

Making a tote bag was really useful for the grocery shopping. It's a sturdy bag that can carry a lot of things.

I love it!!!

Happy Recycling....

Quilt Blocks : Double Diamonds Block

My First Quilt

Materials Used:

Fabric obtained from old T- shirts
Batting (from old pillows)
Bed sheet for the backing
Sewing Machine ( I used the regular sewing machine , as it was a small quilt)
 

I had an idea of recycling my kids' clothes ,especially the T-shirts, as there were loads of these packed into a bundle and enjoying the security of a box and consuming lots of space.

I cut the shirts so as to get those areas that I could use to make a quilt.
There were many square and rectangular pieces.
First I sewed all the pieces together to make the quilt facing. Then a sandwich of this with the batting and a besheet used for the backing.

The quilt is ready.......

I am making a tutorial on how I made this quilt , but will be posted only after the summer holidays.

Happy Holidays !
