Clean that suitcase!

Measure your fabric for your pillow or stuffing. Using a tape measure, measure the width, height and the depth of your suitcase.


 
 


Sew your pillow together. Put right sides of fabric together. Sew around leaving about a ½ inch seam allowance. Leave an opening for stuffing.Then sew the zipper in the pillow.

Free Printable Jar Labels by Limeshot

I found this on Pinterest this week. Printable labels for (mason) jars. On Limeshot.com you can get your own labels for pasta, salt and rasberries, to name a few. But.... they also have some blank labels which you can fill in yourself.
