Lego Play Mat

I mentioned sewing projects in my previous post, and I wanted to come back and post some pictures. First is my standard two-year old gift – an embroidered apron and some felt food. clara_apron
I didn’t get a good picture of the food, but the top bun has “sesame seeds” and the tomato also has stitched “seeds”. I have one more set to make for MonkeyBoy, so maybe I’ll get a good picture of the stitching then.

The other project was a belated birthday gift for the birthday girl’s four year old brother. MonkeyMan has mentioned several times that he used to have a combination playmat/bag for his Legos when he was younger. He loved it because he could spread out the mat and build his creations on it, and then when his mother said it was time to clean up, he could just pull a drawstring and collect all his toys at once. So, using his description, I came up with this super soft denim bag/playmat. I used my stamping eyelets to reinforce the drawstring holes, and my crop-a-dile tool to punch the holes and set the eyelets.

(The birthday boy received a set of legos, but I used MonkeyBoy’s foam blocks for my photo.)

I’m definitely going to have to make one of these for MonkeyBoy.

    And we LOVE the presents…..you have now converted little J to legos! We also have a felt sandwich, so the kids had a production line a-la subway set up the other day and they were placing orders :)

    That’s a cool playmat — would certainly be very useful! Perfect for a bunch of way too little toys!
