DIY Pin Holder

While struggling those last few days teaching my self the very basics of sewing , I had an idea of making a pin holder instead of chasing the pins around my room. I started making a my own wrest pin holder to be available when ever i have an idea to PIN.
How To make? Easy...

For the base start by cutting a circle shape out of hard carton. Why carton? Well, You don't want to stick the pins through your wrest.  (0_o)

Choose the fabric you like or available, but don't go for jeans or denim it's pretty hard to stick pins into it.

Now, fold the fabric in two, place the circle you made on the fabric and trace it around only making the later circle wider.

Center and glue the carton circle to one part of the fabric circle, place the other circle on and start stitching around leaving about 1cm away from the carton center,
leave an opening for the fluffy part (~_~).

You can use any thing to fluffy to stuff it with. I used Fiber you know the material they use to stuff teddy bears. you can also use a piece of sponge. Stuff and stitch close.

The last part is up to you. Cut a strip of the same fabric, has to be long enough to tie around your wrest, glue it on the back of the pin holder, personally I stitched it.

Finally mine looks totally like a Jelly Fish  (0,0)

Wrapped Around Manly Scarf

This scarf is pretty simple and easy to make. Although finding a manly crochet design can be tricky, considering the stitch you're choosing for the design.
I chose single crochet for the whole scarf.

The idea about that scarf is that after you finish it, start joining the ends of the scarf, use a similar yarn to join the ends and your good to go.
you can wrap it around your neck under the coat it will not bother you with wrapping it around, cause it's already wrapped.  x_x
