{~Uses for Shoulder Pads~}

I usually take the shoulder pads out of my clothing. Here are some ideas of use for them.

Make cat toys, sew on curve, leave a enough opening to add catnip at the tail end and add a tail and sew up. Add ears, eyes, nose and whiskers. Add to inside or outside of pants and use as knee pads, Add lace for hair accessory, make a bra, link to bra tutorial & other projects at:{One Pretty Thing}, make a child purse, doll head, pin cushion, add zipper and make a coin purse, make fin-

ger puppets, eye mask, tree ornaments, doll bonnet, brooch, add as ears to a costume, sew around, leave opening big enough to fill with beans or rice and make a toss toy, or stuff with fiber fill and make a ball or make a {Kippah} if you had enough of them collected & fold and sew to children's clothing to make pockets. Supplies needed: scissors, thread. Embelishments & other supplies needed, depending on project, are: ribbon, lace, buttons, hooks, snaps, velcro, zipper, beads, embroidery floss, hair clasp, fabric beans or rice. How about making finger puppets and adding them to a shoe box blessing for a child and give to: {Samaritans Purse}

Doll Pattern

This pattern is a result that came from two drawings my sweet granddaughter drew on a magna doodle pad. I drew it on paper and folded it to make each side more even. I used glue stick to add the hands to the arms. Click photos if you'd like to get a closer look.

Glued Pattern

I glued the legs to the body and decided that the legs were to close together for me to sew.

Leg Pattern Pieces

Here I made separate pattern pieces for the legs. I pinned all pieces to the material and cut it out about a 1/2 inch from the edge of pattern.

Sewn Body

I sewn the body twice around and left the botton all the way open for easy stuffing and adding the legs later. I did some clipping and trimming around the body too.

Cutting arms

I found out after turning the body right side out that the arms were puckering so I turned it inside out again and cut the arms off. I reinforced the bottom of the arms by machine stitching them where the seams were on each side after I had to cut them away from the body.
