Crochet Totoro Free Pattern, Totoro Amigurumi, Kids Stuffed Toys, Crochet PlushJust sharing a cute little Totoro that I crocheted for my sweet niece.  It’s too adorable not to share.  Snapped a few pics before I packaged it off to her with some treats!

The yarns used were Bernat Softee Baby Yarn in Flannel and Soft White.  The crochet pattern I improvised off of is by @beary_bernita from AmiguWorld’s website:  Chubby Totoro Pattern.  Although @beary_bernita’s version with the embroidered face is ridiculously cute, I opted to put in 6mm animal doll eyes instead.

Here’s a side view so you can see his little tail!  Crocheting this little guy made me miss the movie My Neighbor Totoro.  One of my favorites as a kid!  It must be at least 20 years since I last watched it.  I think this weekend I’ll have to introduce this movie to my son.  He’s 10 and I think it may just become one of his favorites too!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.  And keep on crafting, my friends!

Susie xoxo

Mason Jar Plants, Hydroponics, Mother

It’s Mother’s Day tomorrow and to help celebrate the day, I put together these cute mason jar plants to gift to my mom.  Takes less than 10 minutes and I think mom will be very happy!  💕

Materials Used:

  • Mason Jars (16 oz.) – Make sure it has lids with the removable insert.
  • Burlap Ribbon with Lace
  • Sheer Ribbon
  • Hot Glue Gun – My weapon of choice.
  • 2″ Net Pots – Little pots that suspend the plant in water.
  • 1″ Rockwool Cubes – Mostly used in hydroponic planting to use in place of soil.  It holds the plant upright.
  • Clay Pebbles – Covers the rockwool and roots, and also, it looks nice.
  • Plant Seedlings – I grew these little plants myself, starting 5 weeks ago.  On the left we have mini jalapeno, and on the right is sweet basil.  You don’t have to grow the seedlings yourself.  You can always just pick up the baby plants from Home Depot.  😉

Place your little baby plants in the rockwool and net pot, top with clay pebbles, insert in mason jar, and finish with a pretty ribbon! 🎀

To all my mom friends out there, have a very lovely Mother’s Day.  💐

Susie 🤗✨

DIY Face Masks, Easy Free Sewing Pattern, Tutorial, Fabric Face Covers, How to Sew Face Mask

We have been sheltering in place now for over two weeks, working from home and homeschooling my son.  Life has been hectic (to say the least!) and there has been little time left in a day for sewing and creating.  But even with all the anxiety that fills my “new normal,” I am thankful to still be employed and my family members are all in good health. 🙏

With the CDC finally recommending face masks or non-medical fabric face covers, I started a little mini mask factory at home this weekend.  I am mainly sewing for my loved ones – just family and friends.  These masks are super simple, basically just sewing together two rectangle pieces of fabric and attaching the elastic for the ear loops.  Happy to share the info here on where to find materials and tutorial used to make these.

Materials Used:

  • Cotton Fabrics – 6″ x 9″ – I used a selection of pretty prints and Kona Solids in white, available at Fat Quarter Shop.
  • 1/4″ Elastic Band (Note that the picture on Amazon shows a neatly wrapped spool but when it arrives in the mail, it is a bundled mess on a piece of scrap cardboard shoved into an envelope 🙉, but don’t worry the elastic is good quality!  Just not packaged well at all.)
  • Sewing Notions:  Scissors, Cutting Mat, Rotary Cutter, Acrylic Ruler, Wonder Clips
  • Face Mask Video Sewing Tutorial by Erica Arndt from Confessions of a Homeschooler – Thank you so much, Erica!  Your video tutorial was so easy to follow!  The only modification I made to Erica’s pattern is that I did not use 3 pieces of fabrics.  I only used two for each mask for breathe-ability and changed the size for my son’s mask.

This little Pikachu one is my son’s.  I modified the pattern to fit him.  He’s 9 so if your child is around the same age, the fabric pieces are 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ and the elastic bands are 6-1/2.”

Hope you are all doing OK!  Cover face, coughs, and sneezes, wash your hands often, and don’t touch your face!  We’ll all get through this together.

Stay well,

Susie 🤗💕

Have you been sewing masks too?

The Rainbow Quilt

Finished Quilt Size: 62″ by 62″

I’m sharing pictures of this finished colorful quilt today.  I present to you… The Rainbow Quilt! 🌈 It is a custom quilt order based off of my Aurora Borealis Quilt, just in rainbow colors and slightly bigger.  The original pattern is 53″ x 53″ but my customer needed a bigger quilt so this Rainbow Quilt is modified to a finished quilt size of 62″ x 62″.  This Rainbow Quilt Pattern is now available on Etsy!

The fabrics used for this quilt are a collection of Bella Solids, a curated fabric bundle from the Fat Quarter Shop.  The cotton batting is by Warm Company Natural Cotton Batting.

Share a picture of your finished quilt and tag me @loganberryhandmade – I am always so excited to see how your quilts turn out!

Happy Quilting!

My little Logan, always so eager to show off my quilts.  Or just eager to get in front of the camera.  Either way, I enjoy having him help help me hold up the quilts.  He’s taller now too, so he can hold them up even higher.  😁
