Another sneaky peek at The Crafty Kid

Hootie the Owl softie
Hello on this chilly Friday morning. Here’s a little sneak peek at some of the new projects in The Crafty Kid for you, out in just a few short weeks.
The three projects here were constructed entirely from remnant fabrics and scraps. The owl above is made from the leg of an old pair of denim jeans, a scrap of wool from a flea market, the button from an old sixties trench coat and a lurid seventies pillowcase. See? It’s so easy to make something from the most useless-seeming things.

Can’t wait. (But have to anyway)
oooooh, so excited to find this! Have just finished building the H’Art room (named by the 3 year old!) where we, as a family, will convene to do arty projects of all kinds! Thanks for the inspiration- will get your book asap!
thanks Caylie – hope you enjoy the book and good luck with the H’Art room!
