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.

This bag turned out great in this

coneflower fabric...

The pattern came with a free video

Pull tabs on the bottom...

Pellon Fusible Foam keeps it sturdy...
