Two years ago, I decided it was about time for me to start sewing. When I was in junior high (or middle school, tomato-tomahto), I took a home economics class and loved the unit on sewing.

So, you’ve signed on to help a bunch of little kids get crafty for the holidays, and you’re out of ideas. You’ve come to the right place, Shirley! Take a tube sock and fill it halfway with rice. Now fold the top down and roll it a bit to make the snowman hat. With yarn, [...]
