Hm, I’m saying ‘Doodled Backgrounds’, but in fact I should have said ‘Most Beautiful Backgrounds’.
That’s what I think ;-))

Picking Up Stitches Along Knitted Edges
On several occasions you must pick up stitches along edges as a knitter, but because the stitches don’t have the same height as width, you must know, what you do if you want the knitted item to look good.
A good description can be a great help, then ;-)
Freeform Paisley Scrumbles
Nearly three years ago I’ve been interested in Paisleys and freeform needlework. After having seen the freeform Paisley scrumbles I’d like to play around with freeform once again ;-)
By the way, the little items are a great way to use up your stash ;-)

Collapsible Box
I find this a great idea: you wrap your gift, collapse the box and save shipping costs, because it will be send as a letter.
Won’t it?
;-))
Incidentally I presented ‘normal’ boxes here, too :)

Pot Holder Eyeglass Case
I like this idea, too: fold a potholder, sew together and embellish and you’ll have a padded eyeglass case.
However, if I think about a previous ‘very simple’ sewing project I’m sceptical whether I will be able to make it so easily ;-))

Ecofriendly Gift Wrapping
I find the recyceled wrapping beautiful, but I fear that a lot of people I know would consider this as an affront ;-(

Felt Peony
I find the felt Peony really cute, and it doesn’t seem to be too difficult ;-)
Even though I’d prefer to make it as brooch.
Although it surely can also – much smaller – be made as necklace pendant, bracelet embellishment or earring.

Pressed Tissue Paper Cards
I’ve made this with the ironed wax crayon shavings between tissue paper layers before: it’s been fun :))
Unfortunately I didn’t take photos.

Plaster Bandage Napkin Rings
That is a nice and quick idea, too: wrap plaster bandages around a glass, let it dry and embellish it :)
