A Gift For Mom

You don't always have to spend money to create a nice gift for Mom.  I had all of these items on hand and made a useful gift for Mother's Day.

I am going to show you how to make a little jelly jar sewing kit.  

You will need:

canning jar with ring

cardboard

plain fabric, lace or doily

vintage buttons

thread

needles

pins

scissors

thimble

tape measure

The contents can vary you might put something different in yours based on what the person sews.

Use your ring for the jar as a guide and cut two circles to fit inside your lid.

You can use a thin small doily or just lace for the cushion.  I am going to use lace.

Attach a small handful of fiberfill to the cardboard circle using a tacky craft glue.  Cut a circle of fabric and lace to go over your fiberfill.  Wrap the fabric with the lace on top and glue to back of cardboard circle covered in fiberfill.  Cut off any excess fabric.  Press the whole thing into your ring.

Glue the remaining circle to the bottom of your fiberfill circle.  Press the whole thing back into your ring.

 Collect your vintage sewing accessories that you will use in your kit.

 Fill your jar and place the lid on and fill pincushion with pins.   A practical gift anyone could appreciate.
