If you put a sandwich in a plastic bag every day for a whole school year, that’s a LOT of plastic baggies going into the trash! Havalah from Sisters, What! shows how you can make a reusable fabric sandwich wrap. It’s quick to make so you can sew a set of them to use each day. Just toss it in the laundry to wash it and use it again and again!

Okay, confession time: I’ve always dreamed of having a Highland cow as a pet. There’s just something magical about their shaggy coats, sweet eyes, and gentle nature that makes them utterly irresistible. But since zoning laws (and my backyard) don’t quite allow for the real thing, I’ve found the next best option — this Highland Cow Sewing Pattern on Etsy.
This adorable PDF pattern lets you stitch up your very own fluffy Highland friend, complete with detailed photo instructions that guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re crafting it as a cuddly toy, a cozy décor piece, or a unique gift, this little cow brings all the charm without any of the farm chores.
It’s suitable for confident beginners and experienced sewists alike, and with the right fabric (faux fur, anyone?), you can really bring that signature Highland cow fluff to life. And yes, I’m already picturing a mini herd in festive scarves come Christmas!
At CraftGossip, we love supporting independent Etsy sellers who bring whimsy and heart into their handmade patterns—and this one is a standout. So if you’re like me and secretly dream of Highland cows roaming your living room, this might just be your next feel-good project.
