A canvas lean-to for my DH and BIL to take to a rendevous. My payment was a serger. i used my ancient Kenmore to sew it(they promised to replace it if it got messed up). Machine sewed right thru it. The biggest problem was manuvering that heavy fabric.

I have made chisel holders for my husbands chisel's. Pockets the chisels slide down into, top folds over then it rolls up for easy storage.

About that size, just a little deeper.

I found some small white bags at a local grocery store that they put frozen stuff in-like the half gallon icecream during checkout. I talked with the store manager and asked him if I could buy a roll of the freezer bags from him, after I explained what it was for, he just gave it to me. 1 roll had about 50 bags I think. That was the liner.
That is a positively *brilliant* idea! *files it for future reference*

I made a 12" high stuffed penquin with a clerical collar for a lady pastor who was mad for penquins. It was pretty cute!

Found a novelty item pictured somewhere that was a hoot, about 30 years ago. A ball warmer (for guys) I made several one Christmas for gag gifts.

See my post about the crocheted items I made. If I get kicked off here, so be it. They were funny~
