Jean Bag & FQ Bag

Well, I haven't done much sewing lately, but I do have a couple of items to show you.

First is a jean bag lined with cotton fabric, and a couple of zip pouches that I made to go with the jean wallet I made.

I'm also working on a fabric/quilted mini tote to go with this as well .. worked a little on it last night, like 5 minutes, but I do hope to work more on it today.

Also - a couple of days ago I tried out this pattern from KellyRachel.com .....
I made mine from a 12" square of fabric, and it ended up being about as big as my hand .. say 4-5 inches square-ish.  I used some scrap ribbon for the handle and to cover up the not so pretty seam.

It's kind of hard to see but there's another pocket in front. The print blends and you can't see the edge of the pocket.

I recommend the FQ bag pattern, it's very simple but very versatile too.  I'm going to do a larger one as well.  I've seen one done from a 40" square .. I think that would be very kewl!

Jean Wallets - Upcycled! :)

Here are two jean wallets I made from jean rectangles that I inherited from my grandmother's stash.  She cut the rectangles from old blue jeans.

This was the first:

This is the second:

I'll have a tutorial for the second soon .. hopefully by tomorrow... if I'm lucky, maybe by later today!
