SO NECESSARY, CUTE LITTLE THINGS

Beautiful things that surround us can really lift our spirits. But that doesn’t mean they have to be expensive, nor should we spend a lot of time searching for them. Many lovely items can be made by hand. For instance, vibrant oven mitts and pot holders adorned with appliqués look far more appealing than mere rags.

A cute apron, which you can sew from an old dress or bathrobe, or combine from scraps of two different fabrics, is a must-have for every woman. And if you have a daughter growing up, why not engage in crafting together? Cutting out funny animal shapes for appliqués and embroidering with simple stem stitches will help your daughter develop her first crafting skills. We also suggest adding patterns and templates for household items. For those who want to enlarge the designs, we recommend sketching them out on a grid and determining the scale using graph paper.
