My husband challenged me at the end of last year to make 3 things a week for my website. (Um, I am behind.) My challenge to myself was to NOT buy any fabric and use what I have since I have a TON of it. He ever so gently reminded me that I was currently 12 items behind in my challenge so I stayed up last night and made a couple of things. I made my most dearest friend a bag last week. It was super easy so I decided to stitch up another one, using fabric I HAD. Please be aware that it took me LONGER to pick the fabric than it did to make the silly bag!
I added a front pocket to this one, that I did not have on hers, and I think it works nicely and it as a small Velcro closure. There are 4 small pockets on the inside and the strap is about 50 inches long so that you can wear it across the body. The top closes with a zipper. The fabric is a black tone on tone cotton fabric. The pink has paisleys and has flowers. Very cute and fun!
The next thing I stitched up real quick was this cute kitchen towel. I think it will add a bit us sunshine to any kitchen. Perfect for the upcoming spring and summer. (Can you tell I am ready for winter to be gone and warmer weather to come rolling in?) A name or initials would look adorable monogrammed on this, or just be left as is.
