Sew Together Bag #2

Sew Together Bag pattern by Sew Demented bought on Craftsy. 

The fabric is Melody Miller for Kokka, Ruby Star Shining

I made this bag for the mom of the kids I made the two circle cases for in the previous post.

We became good friends when I moved back home to San Diego. Her kids went to the same school as mine and it turns out we went to the same high school just different years and we even lived down the street from each other then. Moving so much makes it so I meet some really awesome people but it also means I move after meeting them. The last three places we were stationed were 1.5 years each. (insert sad face emogi)

I thought this pattern was good but it was better when I did the sew along. Now when I make this I just pull up the sew along and make it.

Zippered Bag: kindergarten Paper

A zippered bag made from cotton fabric and iron-on vinyl. The iron-on vinyl wrinkles bad and stays wrinkled. Oh well. Kind like the look of it now. Cotton fabric is, I think, Bungle Jungle dashed Stationary for Moda. This was made for Jenny B.

Now that I have lured you here with crafty stuff.....

My neighbor took the first one (and it's her sled). My camera froze up in this freezing weather right after I took about 10 photos. We received about 12 inches of snow last night and today. Ok maybe not 12 but it was a lot!

chickadilla (and when it rains..)

Another Ditty bag by Keyka Lou. This is actually the 1st one I made. I made the turtle one after holding this one in my palm upside down thinking, this looks like a turtle on it's back. I don't know what the fabric is except I think I got it from fabrics galore on etsy. And for size reference, it holds a pack of tissues, cell phone and chapstick. Probably a little more like I.D. cards too. I love these bags!

*Chicadilla (the post title) is what Ava calls Quesadillas.

I had to show my latest accident because when it rains it pours:) Yesterday I was carrying in a huge flat awkward 40 pound box (that had unassembled lawn furniture in it). I tripped over a brick and went flying. I landed so hard I could see out of the corner of my eyes, my feet fly up behind me. I hit my thigh as you can see above (although you can't really see how bad the bulging bruise really is) and my other knee slammed into the box too. I slowly got up and went and got the neighbor to bring it the rest of the way in. I wanted to cry sooo bad but I didn't want to be crazy lady next door sobbing and pathetic. My whole body is sore and I feel all of my 39.5 years:) That's it though. No more injury posts because I'm done getting hurt!

Oliver + S Music Class blouse giveaway next post. I swear!

Turtle Zip

This is the Ditty Bag pattern by Keyka Lou made into a Turtle! I basically just made hexagons, top stitched them on some green cotton and made the bag the rest of the way just like the pattern instructions except added legs, head and a tail. He is a little like another one I've made in the past....

Thanks for all the comments about the Oliver +S shirt in the previous post-they made me laugh:) I will definitely do a giveaway so the 4 or 5 people who wanted it can enter the giveaway on a separate post. I just need to know if it's ok that if you win the shirt, you'll have to buy your own buttons and make your own buttonholes. Ok?
