I made a bocce ball bag from a pair of boy's Jeans. The balls fit in the legs and the top part. There is a handle for carrying. I added a zipper to close the top and keep the bocce balls in. Easy to carry to picnics![/quote]

neat idea!

Okay! I've seen these a few times now, and I just have to ask: how in the world does one embroider toilet paper!!!??? :shock: :shock: (Yeah, I know: "Very carefully!") :lol: :roll:

Actually it is easy to embroider on toilet tissue, napkins, and paper towels. Use medium weight stablizer , lightly spray with 505, unroll so the paper will not tear, and embroider on the 2nd piece from the end. When finished cut away stablizer and lightly spray 505 on the back of the embroidered piece and fold the first piece back on it. Decoration ONLY LOL

I made a floor quilt out of camoflauge fabric for my nephew for Kindergarten nap time. He is now an Army Ranger scheduled to go into Special Forces training.

I made a folded roll up pack for muzzle-loader supplies for my husband. Of course it was camo colored!

We'll make a service dog of her yet!

I'm sorry..........what?

I made a sack to go over the back of one of my student's desk chair so her desk wouldn't be so crowded and she could find her books easier. When she pulled a book out of her desk lots of stuff didn't fall on the floor. Of course she couldn't put lots of books in it because the weight would make the chair fall over. However, for crayons, pencils, etc. or a few spirals or folders, it was great.

What a great idea (camera strap), I'll have to keep that one in mind.
