Upcycle Kids Clothing and make a Fishing Game

I made a fishing game for my daughter's Curious George birthday party. These took about 5 minutes to make per fish. Rather than run to the store to buy some fabric, I decided to re-purpose some clothes that no longer fit my kids. I cut out some fish shapes from their clothes, put the outside of the fabric facing each other. Sewed all but the tail. Turned the fish right side out, filled the fish with rice and then sewed up the tail. Then I hand sewed a washer to the mouth. It was such a fun and practically free game for the party! I put the fish on a blue pillow case so they could pretend they were fishing in water. I already had the fishing pool from a toy exchange I did last year. 

5 Minute Baby Mittens

If you are new to sewing, this would be a great project to start with. After making the onesie bibs, I realized I could make some baby mittens from the long sleeved onesies that I used to make the bibs from. This simple project took a mere 5 minutes, if that!

If you have a long sleeved onesie that your baby has outgrown and need some baby mittens, here is how to make baby mittens. Simply cut the sleeves off a onesie, cut them to the size you want. Turn them inside out. Sew the top part closed. Turn them back right side out and you are done! So cute and so simple! I love projects like these!
