When Fat Quarter Shop sent me some of their fabric I couldn’t wait to get started creating fun little gifts. I have really enjoyed working with their fabrics…they have such a great selection.
The turqoise floral print and small orange print are from their store…the other fabrics I had on hand.
I got searching on pinterest for how tutorials on how to make little zippered pouches and there are tons of them out there..pretty much with same basic steps. I used this awesome tutorial from one eleven one it is super easy to follow and fun to make. The little house pillow I made after seeing these cutie patooties from a website called vrukodelii
I can’t even pronounce the name and nothing on their site is in English…so I just guessed on sizes and created my own little house.
I think any of these little zipper bags or house pillows make fun gifts that just make you smile.
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
