@craftdayshop: I sewed this practice pocket before I make THREE on Max's planned Easter vest, which will match PJ's dress. I bought a McCall's pattern for the vest, but instead of fake pockets, I'm using these: http://ift.tt/2nEqhbs I'm going to do this style for the chest pocket as well. The real deal will use much cooler fabric, with matching thread! Swipe left for a video of my handsome boy rocking a store-bought vest...I LOVE this look!

@craftdayshop: Used this soft, old t-shirt from my mom to make a cover for a small pillow for my daughter to use at pre-k nap time! Turned out pretty good for just zipping it together on the fly! #MerMade #CraftDay #sew #handmade #improvise

@craftdayshop: PJ snipped a hole in these cute sparkly terry stretch pants while cutting out a picture at PreK today, and it looked ugly once I stitched it closed, so I added a heart patch from a fleece poncho scrap!
