I love the way the crafting community on the internet takes an idea and just runs with it. One simple tutorial can evolve into so many different imaginings as each crafter gives their twist on an original idea.

(And maybe I’m also a little biased on this one because it’s so exciting to find a sewing project for boys!)

My Little Gems put up the original tutorial for this wonderful Car Caddy tutorial.

Jamie from The Crafting Chicks added ric-rac for the road lines.

Homemade By Jill added freezer stencilled numbers to the little ‘garages’.

And finally it shows up in my google reader with Suzanne’s version for her grandsons featuring some of my favourite David Walker fabric!

I love that although they’re all the same basic idea, each crafter has put her own stamp on her version, and I’m sure all of the little boys that received them were over the moon.

    FOR REAL!! My friend and I were just talking about this today. Sewing something to hold toy cars….and here it is! Very cute! And yes, it is hard to make things for boys. Girl’s accessories are much prettier. But I like this design for boys!

Hi, I'm FernHi, I'm Fern and CraftBlog is my online home. I live in NSW with my husband and three sons, and spend every moment of my free time with my head buried in some form of creativity. In fact, I've never met a craft I didn't like, although I think I've tried a fair few that probably weren't too keen on me. Want to know more?
