Therefore, if you’re into recycling and DIY ideas, this cute little DIY frog will show you that you can turn your children’s clothing into toys they will love.

What a beautiful project! I love the fabric and the tutorial is awesome. I also have a red camera and I’m going do that with a similar fabric. Would be perfect for circular knitting needles in project bag. This little camera cover is exactly what I needed to help protect my camera.

3. Photo Quilt

Polka Dot Chair

Photo memory quilts are wonderful gifts and make great keepsakes. They all look cool draped over a couch and will keep you warm on cold nights. I liked the idea of a quilt with photos of their family back home on it, to keep them warm if they get homesick while away. I’ve always wanted to make one of these and I am glad I found this awesome DIY project tutorial from Polka Dot Chair.

The Stitching Scientist

Wow, this table runner looks so elegant and beautiful! I have stacks of half square triangles sewn in a would-be project for my mother.

On top of that, they can be utilized as a covering for a dresser, as a bed runner, or even as a covering for the back of a couch.
