Spectacle Cleaner and Penwiper Craft Project
A decorative spectacle cleaner made from cut leather and chamois leaves serves as a thoughtful gift. It features a simple conventional design on the ooze, cut with sharp scissors, lined with silk, and threaded on baby ribbon with a bow. A matching penwiper uses larger rounds and cloth leaves with centered threading.
Denim Shoe Bags from Denim Yardage
Instructions describe making eight denim shoe bags from a yard and a quarter of fabric. The 36 inch denim is cut into two strips, split into three pieces, folded to form bag panels, and sewn with the flap left three inches longer. Hem the flap and fasten with a button and buttonhole.
Converted paper file case becomes decorative tote
A fragment describes turning a coy store paper file case into a decorative tote. Crafts outline converting commercial stationery into a beauty item appealing to women. The cover may use fabric like cretonne or tapestry for a pretty rooflike finish.
