Tutorial and printable: Fabric scrap paper doll activity

Carrie from This Mama Makes Stuff guest blogs over at Skip to My Lou with a Craft Camp Tutorial and printable for these fun fabric scrap paper dolls. I love these for two reasons. First of all, they’re just plain CUTE. Second, and more practically, this is a great activity to keep the kiddos busy while you’re getting some sewing time in. Just print out some dolls, and then turn them loose in your scrap bin. You’ll get cool mama points AND you’ll get some sewing done! Get the tutorial and printable.
