Misc.

My friend Janice, came bearing gifts.  The top is a beautiful Scripture cover, and the green underneath is a casserole carrier.  The other side is pieced, I should have taken the picture that way, and may yet.

I made the medium size Open Wide Zippered Pouch.  It is the black one, and I used batting on that one.

I rearranged a little to make things more attractive, hopefully, and this is the main change.  I added the candy jar, wonder clips in crystal bowls, and flower frogs from ebay.  I also moved my mug rack-scissor rack over here. 

Second Try

Bird's eye view.

The first try is inside.  The large and the small, no mediums, yet.

My zipper tab is on the outside this time. 

I didn't like the crinkly look of the small one with the interfacing, and I thought maybe all the extra seams would be enough for some extra body on the large one, but I think it could do with more body.  Maybe, batting.

Oops!

I saw these on Instagram, people were making them from Noodlehead's blog here, and on impulse I decided I needed to make one.  It's her Open Wide Zipper Pouch, in three sizes, this is the smallest.  It started off badly, when i saw as I had started ironing on interfacing, that there was a huge stain, about the size of a silver dollar.

Bad went to bader, when I sewed it up, and turned it right side out.  The left side is supposed to have a cute little tab, and my end is on the inside, not the outside.  It did save me having to make a tab though, just trying to look on the bright side.

It does open wide though, and even mine, with it's major faults, came out kind of cute.  The interfacing makes it kind of crumply looking though, I'm going to make another, but maybe this time I'll leave it out.
