That makes today the 10th day of Christmas! Well, for the next 8 minutes, as I am typing this it is 11:52p.m. Why am I still up? Because I had a great idea and wanted to make it happen!
I made a last minute Christmas present, that I never planned to make. In fact every gift is already done, shipped, wrapped. But this seemed like a fun and simple (and it was) gift.
I made a little memory game for my nieces. I used only scraps, left over material and upcycled materials. I have drawers full of bits and pieces of fabric, and this was a great project to use some of them! I made 15 sets ( 2 each) of matching scrap fabric "memory" pieces. I backed each piece with leftover dark green wool felt from our Christmas cards this year. That gives them a little stability and cohesiveness.
I placed the pieces into a bag made from a piece of leftover navy blue t-shirt, that I used in the Scarflace project the other day.
The bag looks dirty, it's not, just linty from the thread and t shirts I've been working with. I lint rolled it after I saw this pic...sorry didn't get another picture.
