Hi everyone! So if you know me and my Pinterest, I'm on it quite a bit and I'm always pinning new crafts. Here's some sewing crafts that I can't wait to try. The title of each is a link to the blog, so go check them out!

Microwaveable Heat Packs

It's getting colder out, and heat packs are a great way to warm yourself up. I haven't really used them before but I imagine them being pretty nice for my hands when I go out to class in a blizzard, or warming up my bed at night. Plus, you can pick any pattern of fabric and that makes it so fun! Find the DIY here.

Cable Cozy

As a college student, I travel a lot to go home and to my boyfriend's. I always just knot up my cables and throw them in a pocket. I know this would be a better way to care for them. Plus, it's so cute! I have lots of colored elastic from making my own hairties so I know what that's going to be used for!

Face it- you have fabric scraps laying around. And that's ok, because we all do. This super cute tutorial shows you how to use those fabric scraps to make a fabric tray! Isn't that so awesome? I can't wait to make some so then I stop randomly throwing things down on my desk (and losing them). You'd better go check this tutorial out!

Crafts I'm Excited For 10/15

I'm starting a recurring post, which is all about crafts I'm excited for! As a digital native, I see crafts popping up all over the place online, but some really appeal for me to actually try. Here's the three I'm really excited to try right now:

Ahh, seriously, how cute is this phone pouch? Minimal items and it comes out looking so cute and sophisticated. I'll have to change it to fit my Galaxy, but overall, I'm in love. Check out this blog to make your own!

I loved playing with plastic animals as a kid, and this is such a neat way to keep some of that childish fun with you! I know I'm thinking way ahead, but I think these would be adorable to have for my future children as well. If you're as infatuated with these as I am, make sure you read the DIY!

This one ties into number 2.. for some reason, I'm just feeling like cutting up and changing some plastic animals into craft items! I love elephants and the fact that these are painted gold just makes my heart happy. Also, what better way to hang your keys that already have plastic animals on the ring? ;) Check out this tutorial and make your own!
