Lyn Brown's Quilting Blog

Oh! Christmas is coming! Still have lots of stitching I’d like to do! At least one quilt to finish. And lots of gifts on my list to make!

I don’t know why but I love the thought of homemade shoelaces! Shouldn’t take too long.

And I found a chart that tells you how long to make the laces based on the number of holes/eyelets on the shoes:

I will post a pic as soon as I make my own pair!
Here is a link to the Shoe Lace instructions…

AND…

And I have to make some of these T-Shirt Grocery Sacks. Quick, useful, memorable… WOW!
I’ve linked to a few different sets of instructions…
