What can I do with my kids old cloths and art work?
I have kept certain items from each of my children through the years…things like old art work or school work and baby clothes. They have been stored away in storage containers but I am looking for ideas of things I can do with them to keep them. One example is I heard of one lady that used her baby clothes to make a quilt. I have very fond memories with these items and want to keep them in a special way. Any ideas???
I want you to google “story quilts”….there is an african american artist who did a children’s book and it was of her quilts. Her quilts have paintings and applique pictures and she writes and embroiders writing on them. What you could do is make your quilt but with a printer, a scanner and special iron on paper, you can print -on plain fabric, or on some of the clothes with iron ons you print yourself- your kids pictures and incorporate them into the quilt. Then either embroider or with a fabric pen write stories to go with it “You said this was a river and a bird flying over” “You did this for me when I had a cold and you wanted to give me a present’….etc…..tell them cute things they said and tell them a story…….good luck what a fun project!
