Adult Clothes Protector

This is NOT my pattern, I found this free pattern and instructions at:

The pattern is easy to lay out and tape together. What I like about the pattern, it has 2" squares printed on the pieces. This makes it easy to line on your cutting mat and fabric. You need 1 yd. fabrich for the project.

The bib yoke, I didn't want to use bias tape and I wanted to use Velcro. I choose D Yoke and added 1/2" seam allowance. I use cotton material and a light fleece backing. Yes, my process took a little more time, because I chose to line it and I sewed the Yoke and Body togetther.

Added Seam Allowance

I sewed the Main Body between the Bib Yoke material

I top stitched every seam..

Alternating Velcro direction,
increases the chances of connecting the two pieces.

Decorating Wooden Boxes

My Wedding Box

I didn't want to use a guest signature book, no one fills them out completely and then it sits on a shelf. So I created my own box and my own forms. I used acrylic paint, spray glue, and hot glue. With the forms I created, I recorded the gifts received, and the thank you cards were sent out.

I used stiff board as the base, cutting folder style tabs, glued decorative paper to it

and painted & glued wooden letters to the tabs.

I over sized the tabs, so they would be easy to flip thru.

I have since trimmed them down so the box will now close.
