Box bags galore
Birthday Wishes Leah was collecting handmade items for a fundraiser so I sent a box of box bags and a few smaller cosmetic/what-not bags her way. I suggested that she keep some of the bags for her five children family and donate the rest.
Bags for crayons, markers, pencils, pens…
The different colored pull tabs and zippers add some variety.
Owl print bag…
Purple print bag…
Flower print bag…
Camo bag…
Small blue print bag…
Pink and black bags…
12 bags in all.
Bags galore!
Reversible cover-up
My old sewing machine has found a new home with my brother. There was nothing wrong with it but “someone” just wanted a different one with a few more bells and whistles. I’m not sure what he’ll use it for but that’s alright with me. He needs it so he can have it.
A follow-up package is going, too.
A cover.
Not just any cover.
But a reversible cover.
Made from some leftover pre-quilted fabric. Win-win.
Another cover-up
A dust cover would be more like it.
Now that I’m semi-retired (I went back to work two days a week. Shhh.) access to a copier is very limited. I don’t know about you but I prefer to have my knitting patterns stay flat as opposed to being curved in a book that likes to close. Anyway, we needed a copier at home. And a scanner. And one that does both. In color. And maybe a fax. Just because. But not necessary. And it had to be laser for crisp, clear print.
Ta-da!
Naked printer-copier-scanner-fax.
No tutorial because every printer-copier-scanner-fax is a different size.
Fabric from my stash and fusible fleece.
Quilted in a grid. Just followed the print on the fabric. Muslin lining. (It must have been in my stash a l-o-n-g time as it was only 36 inches wide!)
Sewed up the side seams. Added my label.
A cover-up.
