2025 OneThing #43 - Benjamin Birthday Gift

My grandson turned three yesterday. I thought of a pretty neat gift idea that was very personalized . . . and realized that I could not bring it to fruition this past week without a lot of stress and / or a disappointing result. I had been turning ideas over in my mind for quite a few months. We are all so blessed, my grandsons included! We have so many things. 


When I realized that I wanted to follow through on my idea but that it was not realistic to have it ready for today's celebration, I decided to work on it for Christmas. I will blog about that at a later date. It was a good call because I've had plenty of other things to occupy my time lately!


I decided to get my grandson a Fisher-Price record player. I realize record players are pretty anachronistic in 2025, but I think it will be a fun thing for him anyhow. I don't care for battery-operated toys, but I love music. I hope he enjoys opening it and playing with it! I sewed the gift bag from some novelty fabric I have.


I love my family so much. I'm glad I get to see some of them this evening!

Studio Post #36 - Gift Bag and a Repair

I knew it was going to be a busy week, so I did a few small things and took a photo. I'm blogging a day early and hope to do more sewing in the week ahead! It helps to have a more orderly studio.

 

The washcloth had a seam coming loose, so I sewed it down and tossed it in the wash.



I wanted to give my daughter-in-law a birthday gift so I sewed a bag to put it in. I like how it turned out.

 

I don't buy wrapping paper any more. I like using fabric! If my family members want to keep the bags, they can. If they don't, I get them back and wash them to re-use.
