Drawstring bags are really easy to make, and are great for popping a gift in, without the need to use paper and tape.
Lots of preloved items are great to use, such as napkins, tablecoths, traycloths, cushion covers.
Easy anough to make a channel with lace or tape, or turn top over and maybe add a button hole.

Here are a few youtube videos on quick and easy ways to make them. Don't forget a really thick fabric may not gather as well.
We are going to stitch some twiddle blankets, we have all sorts of bits and bobs in our supplies and thought we could make use of them.
We made a start this week, attaching scraps of wadding to the backing, making crochet flowers, attaching zips to fabric.
here are a few ideas here: Project Twiddles
At Easter we had a relaxing dabble, enjoying homemade Simnel cake, and having a sort of the yarn and squares made.

This week there was a request for baby boy blankets by MKBabybasics, so we spent the afternoon making squares and then Hillery took them home and joined them all up into a crib blanket.
We are now dabbling for an Easter flower decoration. We have blown them, cracked them, decoupaged and painted to be added to a flower display.
Hopefully more photos to follow when we have completed the decoration.
