This sounds like a fun project ... I found a link to a bed pocket tutorial that has 5 pockets... maybe too much work for this year, but something I might consider for next year. http://www.sewcanshe.com/blog/2016/1...ewing-tutorial

I'm trying to get my son different things this year.
He has always had exceptionally short hair. He's now growing the top a bit longer.
I got him from ETSY a sandle wood comb. His engraved wooden pencil just came today.
Beautiful work!

i hear PUL fabric makes great bowl covers. Trace bowl and add enough to sew elastic casing. Reuseable, washable, long lasting. Don't know if microwave safe, however. Not seen or done it, but found this out from a fellow sewer as we were waiting to have fabric cut. 14.99 a yard regular price.

Well I'm in the process of making DDIL & DSIL & their kids neck pillows. Think I'll make them travel shoe bags too.

I meant to write PEN, not pencil.

I think the PUL is pricy, but a 50% off with another 20% is a good deal.
I may make them in my quilting cottons. I don't think it will be good for the micro
due to the elastic in the casing. Does anyone know if it's o.k.?

sewnsewer2, I need to make my dh a U shaped pillow. I need a pattern for it.
He puts things on, and falls asleep 10 minutes later. He looks so uncomfortable.
Anyone have a free pattern for it. What do you all think about polar fleece and cotton??

I Google free neck pillow pattern & found several. I saw them w/heat maasge in Walmart last night for $20.

I made them w/cotton because t thought the cuddle fabric or fleece would be too hot.
