... but I finally have some completed projects to share with you ...
I started working on these two quilted zippered pouches before my hubby's medical event and I finally got around to finishing them a couple of weeks ago. The largest one was made to carry my laptop or file folders. When I teach a ladies Bible class or a children/teen Bible class, I usually need to carry one or both. This pouch is large enough to protect both. The smaller one was made for the purpose of protecting my iPad when I need to carry it away from home for any purpose.
I love sewing up pretty things for my needs and being able to customize according to those needs is so helpful as well as practical!
Are you sick of seeing my 'santa sacks?' I finished up three more and of all the fabric combinations I've used, I think these reds are my favorite!
And finally, these drawstring bags were made for pattern designing purposes. I need to make 20 this upcoming week and I wanted the process to be simple and streamlined as much as possible. So, taking into consideration what I wanted the finished bags to look like, I set to work making a pattern. I cut out and made one, taking the time to make notes as I stitched it up. After finishing the first one, I tweaked the measurements and instructions a bit and made a second one. I was delighted with the way they both turned out and am all set to start on the 20 I need to do this week. These two will go in my gift trunk for gift giving purposes as needed.
What have you been stitching up?
