Here’s another CD case that’s a bit different in functionality and holds a whopping 8 CD’s. I used an old pair of jeans (actually same pair that I used on the last one), some extra fabric from a purse I made, a couple red buttons & some elastic to hold it closed. I also added my JJ Janet’s Junk tag to the back. I reinforced the whole thing to make it stiff using a couple cardboard cut outs from our soda 12 packs boxes. It was the coolest thing to use and I just cut it to size and sewed it in. I’m lovin’ this one and am hoping to make a few more the next few days.






Okay, I’ve got my idea and my pattern down and one model made. Tomorrow night I’m going to make a handful of these puppies for our Earth Day event at work. Of course they will hold more than 4 CD’s as this one only holds 4, but you get the idea. I used one leg of an old ratty pair of jeans and some fabric scraps from a purse I made a long time ago. Enjoy!





Sorry no photo this time, but trust me…they are delicious! I made my husband & son plain cheese but mine were a delicious concoction of all things yummy.
Ingredients:
- Cooked chicken, diced small
- Enchillada Sauce
- Shredded Cheese
- Spices (salt, pepper, garlic & chili powder)
- Black beans (drained)
- Spanish rice (I bought the bag of pre-cooked kind that you can microwave)
- Chopped black olives
- Large flour tortillas
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. I thawed 2 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut into tiny bite sized pieces. I cooked them in a pan until they were no longer pink with all my spices. I then added the black beans, black olives & rice to the pan. Once the mixture was heated through, I put a good amount in the tortilla end, topped with shredded cheese and rolled up tightly. I made about 5 of these and covered with enchillada sauce. These were then baked in the oven for about 10-15 minutes.
YUMMO!!!
I’ve been wanting to take a stab at PJ pants for my son but just haven’t found the inspiration to get started on some. Tonight was the night and in just 30 minutes, he had a new pair of PJ shorts. I still need to have him try them on but I’m pretty sure they will fit. I took a pair of some stretchy shorts he uses right now and just drew out a pattern based on that, sewed it all together in the way that I know how and kaching! A fancy new pair of PJ shorts, blue/white light weight flannel fabric. I’ll definitely be making a bunch more of these…both for personal use and to sell. Hmmm, now I just need to find some old clothes to recycle and make some out of for my Earth Day project.
