I’ve been gleaning the best of the web for a few ‘easy makes’… things that you can make on a rainy Autumn Sunday when you have a couple of hours to spare. They’re not particularly expensive either, you can use fabric scraps and things lying around the kitchen 🙂
You can even find a Pinteret board for it, check it out here. Please do follow the Picker’s Kits Pinterest account and I’ll be sure to follow your account back!
Here goes…
