    I've got sisters, my mom, and in-laws to make for and I think they might like these. Plus, they're practical. I'm going to make the outside pocket out of mesh so your registration and insurance are visible.

    Last year I made dishcloths (I knitted them) and they were well-received.
    thanks for the link to the glove box roll up..so cute and useful! I also made knitted dishcloths 1 yr. I rolled the dishcloths around a spatula or wooden spoon.

    these look great! Have you got a pattern? What do you search for on amazon?

    Osewfast did you create these with the regular monogram function on your machine or an embroidery machine? My Janome does some monogramming but I don't know if it's wide enough. Love them!

    I made every guild member a small sewing bag with zipper and a wrist loop to hold small take-a-long projects one year. They were were well-received. They were about 8 inches long and 7? inches wide. I sewed them up into a tube and then sewed them up to create an angled bottom which would stand alone.

    No pattern - just based on one I had purchased at a quilt store years ago. I think you can find a tutorial via google under keyfob pattern tho'.

    Keyfob hardware on Amazon.

    Just be sure your finished fabric strip is the same width as the keyfob. I put nylon webbing as the inside/backing. More durable, IMO.

    Good Luck!

    I used the font(s) available on my regular machine. I don't have an embroidery machine.
    It was easy - test it out on some scraps. Set it for as wide/large as it will go & give it a try. =)

    Good Luck,
    Donna Mc

    I made the microwaveable bowl/plate holders. Just make sure that the fabric, batting, and thread are all 100% cotton so that they are truly microwave safe.
