Mother’s Day is coming closer, and I was wondering what all these wonderful women, who run their ( little) successful family (-business), would want for Mother’s Day.
Or what would they like to make for their mom?
So today we have a sewing kit in a jar!
You will need:
- Jars
- Fabric
- Batting
- Spray Paint
- Hot Glue
And here is how you do it:
You guys probably think “dammit, when is she going to buy some new fabric!”… I am sorry guys, still having leftovers from my birthday in a suitcase project (which btw got featured at Apartment Therapy today).
The pictures should be self-explanatory. To pimp up the jar a little, I made a silhouette stencil out of paper (Download) and then spray painted the cut out. You could also use chalk labels like here.
More things in jars:
…Cupcakes anyone??
…in the bathroom
… yummi!
… and here is another really cute pin cushion jar.
This is it for today, now off to buy some fabric;-)

Seriously. Cute.
I am starting my own linky party tomorrow (eek!)! It’s the first one. I would love it if you would participate! It’s called $10 Tuesdays and it’s for things that cost less than $10 and take 20-30 mins (ish) to complete. I love inexpensive and quick projects and I’m guessing others will too
Thanks so much for considering.

Saw you over at Today’s Creative Blog and HAD to link over. I love this little jar. I’ve got all my supplies stuffed into a baggie. This is MUCH cuter!
I love repurposing mason jars! Such a cute idea! I’ve been following you for a little while, my newest canadian blogger friend! I love to connect with Canadians (nothing against Americans, we just have different stores here). I’m new to blogging, but I have limited Canadian contacts in the blogging world, so it’s nice to find you!

Hi,
This is my first time visiting your site and I love it!!!! I do have a question about the sewing kit jars. How did you attach the fabric and still have enough space to close the jar?
Thanks!!!
I used thin fabric, that’s the only way. You have to really push down and screw;-)
This is a wonderful idea. I think the girl with the ponytail makes it really stand out. This cute little kit. Maybe I can inspire my daughters to sew.
Wonderful idea!!
