Hi Cuties, I thought that I would pluck up the courage to post some Projects that I have designed, to help out a friend that has a Craft and Quilting shop.

She has been so busy of late that I said that I would put together some Craft patterns and Samples for her to use in her Classes.
Thankyou for looking
Regards Lorraine

Hi Sandra, Thankyou for your comment. I enjoyed putting these together, my friend Sue at the shop wanted some projects for boys, so we thought the Truck material would be a good one to use, and so I used it for the bag and pencil case. Regards Lorraine

These are great items that could be used for both boys and girls, Having items in gender specific does help some people to see ways the item could fit their own need. A few other options would be pirate eye patches using stars with sparkles for girls or more pirate themed for boys, face masks for dress up play- lot's of free options at Happily After Designs. Then there are the bath towel designs. Just a few other ideas if you were still trying to think of some ways to help your friend. You are a treasure to be helping her out when she is in need. Thank You for being brave enough to post up your projects.

Hi pacmp, Yes the towel idea is always a winner with the little ones.
If you have a look at the first photo, you maybe able to see a hand towel and face washer on the table. I have put a feature strip across the hand towel and cut out and appliqued the cars onto the face washer. These will be put into a little toiletry bag, another small project for Sue to do in her sewing/craft class.

Hi 02kar, Yes Sue has been so busy of late in her shop and she is always so helpful and kind whenever we are in her shop, that I just had to offer to help her out.

Your friend is lucky to have someone so talented help her out. It is always hard to find things for the little boys. You could do a similar case for the little Matchbox cars or a "road map" mat they cam drive the cars around. Also, super hero capes are fast to make and the boys seem to like them.

Great Ideas! The Match box pockets could also be used for small lego men pockets with scenes on the mat so they can play on them when in the car, when lego sets just are not an option.

Hi rachap and pacmp,
Thankyou both for your great ideas. I have seen these on pinterest and thought these would be a great project to do also.

Hi dragonflyer, Yes well suited for either boy or girl, my next project will be centred around babies, hoping to do a personal changing carry mat and over the shoulder burp cloth.
