Make a Microfiber Hedgehog

Check out these adorable hedgehog toys from Darling Petunia made out of microfiber car washing mitts! First of all, I love hedgeghogs, and second, what could possibly be a better use for one of those mitts? The project is simple, too, with a minimum amount of sewing, etc. Thanks to reader Kathryn for the tip on these cuties! [click here for lots of pretty pictures and instructions]

I wonder if you could make some of these to give your kids for the express purpose of dusting? Sounds worth a try to me! Use whatever you have on hand for eyes. Buttons, beads, or felt will all work very well! You can use a readymade pom-pom (get them by the pack at the dollar store), or just make your own. They’re very simple to make out of yarn.

Project Estimate:

Microfiber mitt, $1
Beads, buttons, felt, etc., for eyes, on hand
Pom-pom for nose, on hand
Stuffing, on hand

Total: $1

The 80s Called…
And they want their prom dress flower back. I recently saw this great little tutorial on making ribbon flowers at Make It Do. How beautiful is that? It is perfect for spring and with all the grey, damp, snowy weather we’ve had in West Virginia, I could use something to brighten my days. I bought some ribbon. [...] […]
Tee Dress Fail
Half of the fail in this tee dress is just my body shape/size… I’ve been wanting for eons to make this tee dress from this video tutorial at threadbanger. EONS. So I finally did it tonight, after having some unexpected time on my hands due to the snowstorm. Well, it is certainly easy enough to do. [...] […]
Knot a Flower
Hmmmm, I am beginning to see a pattern with my crafting fails. Whenever I try to make some sort of flowery doo-dad for an jewelry project, I crash and burn. Here’s my latest flaming inferno of failure. I had an urge to go all Martha and make a flower zipper brooch like I have been seeing [...] […]
