Connections Raffle

I am contributing some handmade things for our Women's Connections Group at church.  The necklace roll and keychain I have done before, but the eyeglass case is new.  I think it turned out really cute.  I've been needing a couple of cases for the various reading glasses around my house, I still haven't made one for me yet.  This case is big enough to hold 2 reading glasses! I quilted the top to give it a little extra something.  I think it turned out cute.



Jewelry Roll with Zippered Pouches

Another creation from my One Yard Wonders book.  I have been so scared of zippers and I am started to conquer that fear! I love the way this jewelry roll turned out.  The ribbon across holds rings or hook earrings too.  Then there are 2 zippered pouches for whatever else! It was surprisingly easy to make and fun.  The longest part is cutting all the fabric and interfacing.

Chapstick & Hand Sanitizer Holders

I found the coolest Neoprene fabric and bought some with a coupon.  My friend had a chapstick holder made like this, a freebie from a bank.  I thought I'd give it a try.  I think they turned out pretty cute.  Another friend has a hand sanitizer holder similar to this one too.  What a fun combo! And they can be attached to anything!

Wet Bag

I sometimes have a pile of wash cloths and dish towels in the kitchen that I randomly forget to take upstairs to the laundry room, and why would I make a special trip up there just to do that? :)
So...enter the kitchen wet bag! Or, just a wet bag if you don't want it in the kitchen.  When I made it I hadn't attached a strap but wanted it to hang somewhere since I don't need anything else on the counter! So that was added later.  I sewed it on the bag and then used velcro on the front so I could hang it on a drawer handle.  I already have one person who would like one for swimsuits this summer! A great idea.  I also think they'd be handy in a diaper bag for wet or soiled clothes, no more using plastic bags! Go green!

Tag Blanket

I decided I needed another option for baby gifts so I started making tag blankets.  So easy and it's fun to use such a variety of ribbon and colors!  I have a lot of friends having babies right now and these are so soft and sweet.

Bed Buddy

Again, from my "One Yard Wonders", a Bed Buddy! My mom saw this in the book and said she'd like to have one so I made it for her birthday coming up.  I think it turned out pretty cute and it was fairly easy to make!

Business Card Holder

I found a tutorial for a business card holder and it was so easy!  It can be used for so much more than that. Gift cards, credit cards, etc.  I showed it to my family over the holidays and my aunt pulled out one from Vera Bradley-it was made just the same! The only difference was the name!
