Tutorial: Upcycled jeans tablet stand

You can make this tablet or reader stand out of an upcycled jeans leg in just 15 minutes.  TeresaDownUnder from Sewn Up shares a tutorial showing how you can make it.  If you don’t have a jeans leg in your scrap bin (or don’t have a pair of jeans to sacrifice), you could also make it  from home dec weight fabric.

Tablet Stand Tutorial, by Sewn Up

Have you seen those snuggle chairs and sensory beanbags such as Kloudsac that sell for hundreds of dollars? Well after a bit of research,  I found what they are filled with and I am planning on filling mine with the same sensory soft filling for more sensory dependant child.

Make sure if you are making your own sensory ones that you use the correct foam as listed above shredded memory foam. You can then fill any styled beanbag to create your own cloud pillow. Choosing a beanbag that is oversized (so you can sink into it) is highly recommended. Imagine when you sit on it, the foam has to have somewhere to go.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
