Made By Humans
The other day I shared with you my Christmas tree softie, which I made myself but would be great for kids to make, or even for a group of kids to do together as they learn embroidery stitches. A bunch of my blogger friends have been sharing their own holiday-themed sew a softie projects, which […]
