Not Just Decorating: Pants Repurposed into Purse
http://notjustdecorating.blogspot.com/2010/10/pants-repurposed-into-purse.html
Pants Repurposed into Purse. I love to sew and I especially love to repurpose old things into something new. A few weeks ago I was over at Made it on Monday. Then, to line the purse I used a shirt that I don't wear anymore. I tried to get a picture of the lining, but it came out too grainy. I know you all know what the lining of a bag looks like anyway. Something Nice and Pretty. That is so neat.wish I liked to sew! Loved the bean bags too:). October 28, 2010 at 7:02 AM. October 28, 2010 at 7:02 AM.

This little turkey craft is so easy and so cute. Its a great kids thanksgiving craft for killing some time waiting for dinner.

Not Just Decorating: Bean Bag Tutorial
http://notjustdecorating.blogspot.com/2010/10/bean-bag-tutorial.html
What you need to make them:. 1/4 yard of fabric. A bag of beans or rice (for filling the bean bags). First, cut your fabric.

After you have the 3 sides sewn, turn the bag inside out (or should that be right sides out? Center a h...
