Na, doesn’t this sock necklace look great?! ;-)

And about the advent calendar: you can insert here easily little paper strips into the socks just as for the simple spool advent calendar and wham!, ready is your advent calendar ;-))

So, that’ve been the advent calendar ideas for this year, now you may begin…

I’m always impressed by all the great ideas out there: This time it’s about sewing yourself a pillow from paper napkins matching your home furnishings!
Seen like this it would be great for a picnic or similar, too: you can take pillows with you that match the other napkins ;-)
She said that the pillows are amazingly strong, somewhen I really have to try this ;-))

Fabric Bowl

Doesn’t this fabric bowl look beautiful?
And it seems to be quite easy to make (although I often underestimate such things ;-)).
Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it just as the other clothesline fabric bowl because my sewing machine still can’t make the zig zag stitch.

T-Shirt Necklace

I presented already some tutorials with t-shirts, this time it is about making a necklace from the t-shirt (the link isn’t available no more, but she presents a tutorial for a recycled t-shirt bracelet which is done similarly).
When I heard it first I thought: ‘That’s silly’ but the photos convinced me that it’s not ;-)

And if you don’t have a t-shirt at hand take some old stockings ;-)

Self-made Oilcloths

I surfed the net and learned to my astonishment that you can make your own oilcloth – from fabric and self-adhesive sheets for covering books.
However I heard that sewing on self-adhesive sheets can make the sewing needles sticky, on the other hand the stickiness will be ironed there so perhaps it’s no more poblem.
