Kyles creative idea

I've been sewing when ever I have time to squeeze it in. I love to sew. I've recently made little blankies with ribbon tags on them that babies love.
My 2yr old grandson can't go a day without his. I've sold others.





More recently I started making purses out of clothes that don't fit, mainly old jeans. It all started with a pair of pants I had with very large cuffs. I wanted the cuffs off and after cutting them off the idea of a little girls purse came to mind. So I made a purse for my granddaughter and she loved it. I've made others and listed them on the Etsy site for sale along with some little blankies.

My grandson, Kyle who is 7 yrs old next month, saw the purses and asked me about them. I showed him what I used to make them and said " I need to think of ideas for using pockets of old jeans". He thought about it a minute and said "how about a tooth fairy pocket?" He even explained how I should make it with a handle on the top so it could be hung from the bedroom door knob instead of being put under the pillow where his little brother might get it because sometimes they fall asleep together on the same bed!


Well, last week I pick up Kyle from school and he says to me " grandma, my bottom front teeth hurt when my top teeth touch them" I asked him if they were loose and he discovered they were. He was SO excited!!
So I went to work and made him the very first Levi Fairy Tooth Pocket just as he wanted it!
