  2. Cute patterns. My kindergarten teacher friends used to make toys for their classrooms and save their miserly budget for other supplies. One in particular had an entire corner of stuffed toys.

  5. So many of these need only scraps of fabric to make. A definite plus to those of us who stash our scraps just in case. ;)
