Yo-Yo Patchwork uses up your scraps of fabric and wadding
Just one of a range of fun toys that can be made from this simple Yo-Yo design (called a Suffolk Puff in the UK); its not only a great way to use up scraps of fabric but wadding too – the puffier the better! (sadly the pattern Jennie highlights is no longer available from Simplicity)

A simple project for the younger age group to make as well as receive. Hand stitched with a simple running/gather stitch a great beginner project.
Simple to make with a little bit of imagination can take you anywhere.
