Small Item Sewing

Fun sewing has been filling in the infrequent gaps in my busy life lately.

This is my favorite - the Sew Together Bag by Sew demented. The pattern is available on Craftsy.

The inside has three zipper pockets along with four open storage areas that all close with a zipper that closes to form a handle. Very clever pattern and I may be the last person to make one.

Next is the Dumpling Pouch which is a free tutorial from Michelle's Patterns and was sent off in a swap with other goodies. It's tiny - only 5.25" X 3.5".

I was a little late on gifts for new great-nephews Josiah and Chester. They got bibs and burp clothes.

We had a great time with the grandkids this weekend because it warmed up enough to go sledding and building a snowman!

I have a secret gift I'm hoping to finish and show next week.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I love your Sew Together bag. I have the pattern but haven't had the chance to make it yet. It keeps getting put on the back burner.

I just love that fabric in the dumpling bag! I have seen the 3-zip pouch many time, but that's more zips than I want to tackle in one project.

I've loved that Sew Together bag every time I see it. The fabric on the dumpling bag is darling too.

I'm glad it warmed up enough to get out and enjoy the snow. That is a sweet (and chilly) hug!

I think the sew together bag has been the most useful bag I have ever made! I love your little Christmasy pouch! All of our snow has melted now...today was actually balmy!

Lovely little projects. The pouches are a great idea and the bibs etc make great gifts.
Sledding sounds like loads of fun!
