Transporting four kids around can generate quite alot of rubbish in the car each week and I'm forever trying to find small bags that will fit in the car to throw the litter in. Finally I made one that fits perfectly in my car and it's reusable so it should last.
I used some funky fabric and then made a plastic pocket to line it, also making it reuseable, oh how I like:) The plastic I used was from the cover of a sheet/bedspread packet so it was'nt too thick or you could use the same plastic used to protect table tops. Then I recycled a strap off a school drink bottle cover (of all things!) for the strap on the rubbish bag.
This is cool! - no more hunting for car rubbish bags and no more rubbish piling up in the car. x Jenni
These are huge time wasters but they are also strangely addictive! I decided to make another one but slightly different this time; and stamped an image onto some white cotton for the doll. I coloured it in with windup crayons and blanket stiched around and stuffed it to makeit puffy.
The matchbox house was next size up from the last ones I used and I decorated it like a little house embellishing it a bit more this time with felt, trim, lace and buttons and dived into my scrap supplies and used some scrapbook papers.
I also glued some folded paper to the back and drew some little shops, because what little doll does'nt want to go shopping!, and got my daughter to add her touch by colouring it in.
Well it sure brought a smile to someones little face, now to get on with all the things I should have been doing instead of making this! xJenni.
