Raffle Items

Try not to fall over from the shock of two posts in two days.  What can I say?  I've been busy in my sewing room, but also not blogging as soon as the projects are completed.

Malcolm's school is having a raffle tomorrow after a talent show. (What talents do 3-6 year olds have anyway?  I've seen the "shows" my kid puts on and no one but parents or grandparents would be willing to sit through them.)  Anyway, they asked for donations for the raffle prizes and I made a basket of kid kitchen items.  I think they turned out very cute and hope that they do well in the raffle.


First, I made an apron using the tutorial found here.  It turned out very cute and was incredibly easy to make.  The best part was that Malcolm could take it on and off all by himself!  The elastic neck strap and the velcro side closure were great touches that made it fit very well.  If you make one, you might want to make it an inch or two longer if your child is tall.  He was a little sad that he doesn't get to keep it, so I think I will let him pick out some fabric and I'll make him his own apron.





I also made some doughnuts from some fleece fabric that has been hanging around my sewing room for a couple of years now. Usually, they would be made out of felt, but the fleece worked well and I like the softness of it better.


Putting the "sprinkles" on was very time consuming.


I also made a set of tea bags like I did for Dorothy's play kitchen.




Lastly, I also made another set of salt & pepper shakers.
