One of my greatest memories of my nana, when I was little, was if one of my toys had something broken or needed repair she would take it to the doll hospital for me. Over the years I have fixed many toys and every time I think of my nana. It makes me so happy to know I can help another child still have their toys a little longer even when everything is so quick to be replaced this days.

Made this back pack for my daughter’s friend birthday. No pattern, just an idea that I got carried away with. She loves moon jellyfish so based the backpack on that. Not perfect but I’m happy with it and so was the birthday girl.

Shortened some stretch jeans, added new buttons on a shirt and shortened some satin pants by using a floating hem. This technique is great if you have lining in the clothing. No hem shown on the outside and a blind hem on the inside.

Quick repair job. Tip: Always use a ball point needle on knitted type material. Sharp needles tend to pull the torn threads and make a bigger hole.
