Desks for All

September 3, 2009 by Vikram Goyal

As a teacher, I would always recommend that a child had a specific place in the house that was designated for homework.  A place with few distractions that would help the students focus and get their work done quickly.  Whether it is the kitchen table or a desk of their own, kids need to know that when they sit down in that spot, it is time to work.

I think the best idea is to invest a little money in a small desk or table for each child.  It can be placed in their bedroom or another quiet, private area of the home.  You can find some really great desks on your local Craigslist or other online garage sale type site for cheap prices.

Here are some examples from my area:

Etsy Spotlight: 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers Pattern

Vintage is making a serious comeback – and I’m 100% here for it. There’s just something timelessly romantic and effortlessly charming about retro styles, and this 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers PDF Pattern is a dreamy example. With delicate details and a classic silhouette, this three-piece sleepwear set captures the elegance and playfulness of mid-century fashion.

But here’s what makes it even more exciting: imagine sewing this pattern using vintage sheet sets! Not only does it give a sweet, nostalgic vibe (hello, florals and pastel stripes), but it also turns your sewing project into a sustainable, upcycled creation. Repurposing old linens is one of my favorite tricks for reducing waste while still making something utterly beautiful and functional. The soft, worn-in feel of vintage sheets also makes them perfect for loungewear like this.

Whether you’re sewing this for yourself, gifting it to someone special, or even displaying it as part of a vintage-inspired craft fair, this pattern is as versatile as it is adorable.
