            Crafty Adventures
            Spent Black Friday sewing with my best friend Kris
             
            I made a pillowcase using this tutorial from Notes from the Patch blog
             
            I also made drawstring bags for my 3 nephews to put their crocheted toys in.
             
             
            Kris made a pillow from one of Aila’s favoriate dresses with a pocket made out of her old giraffe PJs. Learned how to make an invisible zipper.  Link to video she used that had good instruction.
