The Handmade Gift Exchange at Craftaholics Anonymous looked like so much fun, that I decided to sign up to participate. This is what I sent to my partner, Ellie. Ellie loves to sew, and she also has an adorable little daughter, so I made her a set of beanbag pattern weights that can double as toys to keep little hands busy while mommy sews. I love pattern weights. You can cut out your pattern without spending time pinning it down to the fabric, and they look cute, too. Here they are all stacked up:
And here they are in action:
I really need to make some of these for myself! I was also going to make her some cute pincushions, but those were an epic failure, so I did what I know best and made her a little tote just the right size to hold the pattern weights. I hope she likes her handmade gifts!
I love the fabric collection. Cute idea for the pattern weight/baby toy!
