Make Slime

Just mix together 1/3 cup of the borax solution and 1 cup of the glue solution. If you are making bigger batches of slime, just use 1 part borax solution and three parts glue solution. It is fine to use your hands.

love this blog

much better :)

I cleaned up and organizes all my current projects and my sewing area
It feels good to be organized

aplique

great site
http://www.myhappycrazylife.com/how-to-applique/


Trying hard to learn to appliqué the problem is I don't maneuver my fabric very well in my machine... So sewing around the edges looks sloppy :(
I just need to learn to use the machine better :?

Made 2 Onesies .. Instead of sewing around edges I used fray check and attached it with heatbond
