I'm absolutely no pro at sewing. I'd recommend just cutting a good size square and just sewing the edges over so there aren't exposed edges. My son loves the tissues made from one really old pillow case. It's so very soft. I have an old sheet that goes with that I will eventually turn into tissues as well.rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-23099686234722179432015-01-14T08:24:10.384-05:002015-01-14T08:24:10.384-05:00It's nice to hear from someone else on the car...It's nice to hear from someone else on the cards.

And good call, paying off the mortgage rather than giving extra money to the shops :) That's the goal here too.<br />I'm in a supermarket 5 days a week for work. no spends are quite the challenge sometimes for me.rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-7645520411498081162015-01-13T20:19:28.027-05:002015-01-13T20:19:28.027-05:00:)

I stick to only the things on my list and don't go browsing in any other shops. It feels good not spending so much money and time...Nowadays I would rather pay $$ off the mortgage, than in the shops :)Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-82270363813130066462015-01-13T15:57:39.315-05:002015-01-13T15:57:39.315-05:00Excellent post!!
