Tutorial: Adorable appliqued trick or treat bag

Lindsay from The Cottage Mama shares a tutorial at Riley Blake Designs showing how you can make a personalized trick or treat bag for Halloween. The bag itself is easy to sew up. It has a contrast bottom with jumbo ric rac trim tucked into the seam. If you have an embroidery machine, you can personalize it with an applique and your child’s name. You could also do applique on your sewing machine if you don’t have an embroidery machine.

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.
