Bits and pieces
 
3 Attachment(s)
I needed some storage baskets in the hall so quickly knocked these up using some fat quarters, scrap cotton webbing for handles and foam for rigidity.

I was also given some plastic handles and floral fabric and asked to make a smallish bag. I’ve only made totes before but made this one up as I went along and I think it came out ok. It was the first zipped pocket I have ever made as well so quite pleased with that part!

Woo-Hoo! Don't you just love it when things come together so well. Those baskets will hold lots of goodies in your hall & that purse is fabulous. You did so good with that "first ever" zipper pocket. Thanks for a look at what you've been up to lately.

I love the magnetic clasp on the inside of the bag too. You did a great job on it!

Love them really cute

Wow, made 1 bag once and I’m not sure I’d ever make another one. That is some impressive skill! Do you use them all yourself, give them away or sell them?

Amazing purse!

Nice job! I attended an PL event yesterday. Everyone was asked to bring an item or two to trade--something that they know they will never get around to using. I noticed there was a wonderful selection of bag/tote patterns. Guess lots of people have good intentions but never get around to making them.

Thanks everyone. The bag is for a friend who requested I make her one using that fabric so I hope I have done it justice.

One of the baskets is currently full of opened mail that needs to be sorted/filed and the other is full of odd bits’ - you know the stuff that just accumulates and doesn’t have a home

Haha I have the opposite - I get bored just doing quilts as they are so big and I need smaller, useful things to keep me motivated!

You did a wonderful job on all of them! I'm impressed with your ability to make something up on your own without a pattern to follow. Well done!

Have to say it made me very nervous and I will definitely be using patterns normally
