Congratulations!  I will be sending emails off to you shortly.

A big thanks to everyone who took the time to stop by and share your favorites!

some mindless yet practical sewing.

My house is old.  Like over a century old.  And with all that charm and character comes drafty windows.

I sat down at my machine the other night and started sewing random scraps together that had been left the sewing table..  Not long after - ta da!  One draft snake was complete.  A big improvement over the dish towels I normally use!

I didn't over think what pieces I was picking up so this went together quickly.  I trimmed it down to 6 1/2" x the length of my window + 1/2", folded in half right-sides-together with a lining and stitched all around, leaving a gap at a short end.  Turn, fill, stitch the gap closed, and done.  For the filling I used crushed walnut shells, but any small scale fill with a bit of weight will work. (rice, beans, buckwheat, etc.)

Google eyes optional.

It's Giveaway Day!  I have two giveaways this time around - in two separate posts.

Up here - a colorful spots and dots bundle containing a fat-sixteenth of sixteen different polka dot fabrics from various manufacturers including Moda, Michael Miller, Westminster, and Birch Organics. 

 To enter, please leave a comment noting your favorite dot - large, small, color, pattern - anything that might set one polka dot out from another for you!  (Please only one comment per person.)

Comments will close Friday December 12th and I'll choose winners for two bundles on Saturday!
