I read a blog post from Helen’s Closet about using your fabric scraps to make reusable makeup wipes and gave it a go.
I made a template of the size I wanted, traced it on the fabric and towel material and cut. Whats great is you can use and old towel or find a piece in the remnant section. I used my rotary cutter for most of them. I used my serger to put them all together. I did this so I could get more familier with my serger, you can use a zig zag stitch to go all the way around. Viola you have reusable makeup wipes. I use witch hazel on mine at the end of the day to take my makeup off. With five teens in the house they all seem to care about their faces right now so I will definitely be making a lot more.
Whats for dinner? We are having feed yourself night.
I'm Olivia, I sew, cook and am part of a blended family. My husband Steve and I have nine children, four are his, five are mine. We have six girls and three boys ages 13-25.
I learned to sew from my grandma Mary, my dad's mom. She made beautiful Raggedy-Ann and Andy dolls, pillows and clothes for her children when they were younger. I spent many weekends with her stuffing legs and arms, going to the fabric store and on occasion I went to shows with her to sell her beautiful makes.
I had my first daughter at 19 and wanted to make her a blanket. I used my grandma's sewing machine and she guided me along the way, I think Mary, my oldest, still might have that blanket.
Over the years I have sewn a variety of dolls, plush cuties, pillows and just started getting into sewing clothes. Welcome to my adventures in sewing, being part of a big family and my small part of the internet.
