Just a Few Sewing Notions

A few sewing projects completed.

First up, a plastic bag (plarn) rug.  I'm using it as a placemat outside underneath the dog's food bowl. 
A reversible swiffer cover.  I have the name brand of these a Mr. something or other (smile).  I paid five dollars a piece for them.  They are washable and work fine but sometimes you just need something smaller.  These homemade swiffer covers are made from the Sugar n Cream yarn $1.77 at Walmart.  It doesn't take a full roll.  I believe I will have enough between two rolls to make three covers.  Plus you use one side and flip it over and get twice the usage over Mr. Shiney Head! 

I didn't make these but snagged them at the 50% off sale at goodwill.  More napkins for my paper free kitchen! 

Lastly, this is my new tote bag.  I'll use this more in the summer time but wanted to get it done early.  It's made out of Sugar n Cream Seaside.  I'd love to make another one of these but smaller to use as a purse.....hmmm. 

Until next time, Kristi.
