begin the projects, which are divided among decor, toys, and
'wearables,' with the last section being the stand-out [...] These
sweet DIY projects will appeal to parents who are also avid or
aspiring sewers, not to mention to their kids."

comprised of lovely fabric items crafters will enjoy gifting and
creating."
