Last year I made microwave bowl holders & oven dresses for the women & pillow cases for all the men grand kids & nieces & nephews, GT nieces & nephews. They went over really big with everyone. The men in the family got specialty pillowcases & loved them. The men even liked the microwave bowels. All our friends got the same & I have ended up with lots of orders for making them & ended up making a few $ off them. Just finished an order for 24 of them. :~) This year I am making table hot pads & coasters out of 1/2 inch strips of scrap fabric wound around cloths line rope & zig zaged to make them round plus dress holders for plastic bags. All of these are fast & easy to make.
