Make do and mend Monday
turned under the edge about 3/8 inch and pinned it up. then I just machine stitched with invisible thread. I think the whole project took 15 minutes. |
2 re-done shirts perfect all the hot days to come |
If you've done a make do and mend project or you want to read about more projects like this one, pleas visit my friend Heidi at http://thecranberrychronicle.blogspot.com/ |
our "pool"
The grandchildren love to play outside but it is so hot here so I rigged up this pool in the shade for them. Anyone recognize what it is? the lid from the Little Tikes turtle sandbox |

Make Do and Mend - 4 new skirts
they all have simple elastic waists |
and simple machine sewn hems. |
have you done any make do and mend projects? then tell us about them and join Heidi at |
this is the pattern I used, I am pretty sure I bought it at a thrift store a while ago for 10 cents. I only made the skirt but I do like patterns that offer more than one garment like this one does. |
This project is about using what I had to make something I need and want.
I will be wearing these skirts often this summer and am very pleased that I did not have to go shop for them or spend.
