Prudent Baby shares a tutorial showing how to make a child’s hand muff to keep their hands warm during the cold winter weather. It’s a double-hand pocket that hangs from a strap. It’s fully lined, with a layer of batting for extra warmth. They show it made from a pretty quilting cotton print on the outside and minky for the lining, but you could also use a faux fur for the outer layer with a cotton for the lining. Get the tutorial.

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem
With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
