Weekend crafting with IKEA

Last week I was reading a very nice Dutch blog called Kleine Zaken and there I found a great link to a tutorial or should I say a fun sewing project that even I can do (or hope) ... the link brought me to Eloleo, the blog from a Belgium mom, Sanne, who loves to sew and she is soooo good at it! Her idea to cut out some of the animals from the Fabler fabrics from IKEA and turn them into lovely soft toys is just brilliant! The result is really nice and they are perfect for a handmade gift...{ps. Sanne says it's wise to wash the fabrics before you start, enjoy!}

Via Eleleo I also found this project from, Revoluzzza, a German artist, craftster and DaWanda seller. Already in 2008 she showed this fabric Tree Project ...al you have to do is buy some Fredrika fabric (again IKEA) and follow these steps ...I like it!

Thanks Sanne and  Revoluzzza ... I wish you all a wonderful weekend, hope to see you back next week, when I will be showing a great new Open House, an amazing art piece at the WinOnWednesday, a book-review and more.......irene xx

What a really great idea. My mom loves to create handcrafted gifts for her grandchildren... I emailed this to her right away.
