Mini Card Wallets...

 The holiday workshop is in full swing...

I am making Mini Card Wallets...

with SNAPS  !

I pawed through the fabric cupboards and

found lots of FUN dotty fabrics...

I am lining the wallets with

Shape Flex Fusible Stabilizer...

Shape Flex SF101

I love this interfacing...

It is so nice to work with and gives your

projects so much body with no stiffness at all.

These wallets require one piece of fabric

and one piece of stabilizer

and one snap...

I am sewing assembly line style...

The wallets are all prepped and ready

to sew together.

It just takes a few minutes to stitch

one of these cuties together...

I bought a Kam Snap starter kit

The snaps are super simple to install...

These are FUN to stitch and

you can't stop at just one !

They are the perfect size to hold your

license, credit card & cash

when you don't want to carry a purse around.

They require such little fabric,

I found scraps in my bin

and turned them into wallets...

These will be great stocking stuffers...

Zip Cases...

Santa's Workshop is in full swing !

 

I am making zip cases...

Great gift for the guys...

Shave Cream, razors, toothbrush & paste

Perfect opportunity for pulling out

all the great wild life fabrics in the cupboard...

We have a John Deere fan in our family...

this is perfect for him

These zip cases are so roomy.

I lined them with fusible foam

to help them keep their shape...

This was a fat quarter size scrap I had leftover

from a  previous project...

it worked great for this zip case !

Just had to show you both sides of this case...

Side 1   Bear & deer

Side 2  Moose

Found a fat quarter size scrap of cupcakes...

great for a girl's make up bag 

or hair accessories.

I am pawing through the fabric cupboards

and scrap bag to find more fabrics

for more zip cases....I am on a roll !

This pattern is called:  Good Luck Pouch

You can find it at CenterStreetQuilts on Etsy

It is very well written and easy to follow

Dumpling Pouch...

 

Dumpling Pouch

also known as a Clam Up Pouch

I keep my quilting clips inside...

Small, Medium and Jumbo clips...

The pouches open wide and make it easy to

grab your clips...

They go together fairly easily and are FUN !

Pellon Fusible Foam helps them stay

sturdy and keep their shape.

I made a few extra as gifts and people

ooh and ahh when you give them away...

Starling Bag...

I was in Idaho in July

and my aunt gave me a table runner

and said,  "I think this would make a good bag."

 

She wants a large crossbody bag

and this pattern looks just right...

The table runner is now cut into a bag

front and back...

I am using some of my hand dyes

for the bag lining...

Here is the finished bag...

It has a recessed zipper...

It has a large interior pocket...

I put a fun lining inside the pocket...

Two zippered side pockets...

Side pocket...

This crossbody bag is on its'

way back to Idaho and...

is no longer a table runner.
