November 27 ~ Work

Make Work a little brighter with our project & gift ideas…

Make It

		Business Card Case Jennifer from Jennifer Ladd Handmade designed this Cute Business Card Case Tutorial and adds that it’s easy to customize the case to “represent your own business style.” You can win this case from Jennifer (see “Win It”).
		Recover an Office Chair Candy shows you how to Recover an Office Chair at Candied Fabrics. Candy writes, ” I am constantly inspired by the color and patterns I see around me. I find that I MUST be making something, and the media that sings to me is white fabric and dye.” Candy wanted some color on that chair!
		Fabric Pencil Holders Katie shows you how to turn tin cans into Fabric Pencil Holders at Making This Home.
		Laptop Sleeve Several people on our lists would love our Laptop Sleeve from Elizabeth, made with some nice home dec fabric!
		Patchwork Lanyard Make a Patchwork Lanyard at mairuru with fabric scraps (for those ubiquitous work ID cards). Mai adds that she made pouch straps the same way here.

A beautiful hand-made business card case by Jennifer Ladd.

By Wendi Gratz

(Lark Books, $19.95, ISBN: 1-60059-377-1, ISBN13: 9781600593772)

From the Publisher:

Absolutely A-line…absolutely adorable! The classic, always fashionable A-line undergoes a charming reinvention at the hands of stitching whiz Wendi Gratz and a host of talented designers. Working off a single, simple pattern, they demonstrate the versatility of the basic form by creating over two dozen adorable variations—all just for little girls.The 26 projects, all captivatingly photographed, feature a range of structural adaptations and styles. Some have pockets, others have sleeves, and still more have embellishments such as appliqué, piecing, embroidery, and quilting. And there aren’t only dresses, but also jumpers, smocks, tops, and skirts. The book includes the full pattern, with children’s sizes from three to eight.Because the A-line dress is one of the easiest garments to sew, it’s the perfect canvas for crafty moms and grandmoms who want to make unique clothes for the special girls in their lives.
