As soon as I saw this drape front cardigan tutorial for girls the wheels started turning in my head. I have to make one (or 10) for myself.

A last minute gift that is handmade is not always the easiest idea to come up with. These bowls are perfect for just that and they can be completely personalized.

For anyone out there who is a tea addict like myself, these handmade tea bags filled with your favorite tea would be a wonderful Valentine's Day treat.

My advice to all you this weekend, pamper yourself.

Our friend Cynthia from Fabricworm launched her new line of baby bedding and it's getting a bunch of press love. It's so cute.

Mini Me Top


One of the things I love most here at Prudent Baby is being able to chat with crafty mamas from all around the world. Even if we don't have the same first language we can still learn so much about crafting from each other. Citra from Innocentia is here from Indonesia to share her adorable Mini Me Top. So cute, right? You can also check out her posts on how to draft a peter pan collar, sew a basic balloon dress, and a super easy way to make hangers.

How to Make Fabric Yo Yos


Last week I showed you how my mom gave Clare's favorite dress a second life with some yo yo applique. Here is a little tutorial for How to Make Yo Yos...  just like my mama taught me and her mama taught her. Once you know how to make them, you can use them on anything from t-shirts to hair clips. You can even make an entire bedspread by sewing them together like my grandmother did here. Talk about scrap busting!
