Collegiate Trash Bag

My friend, Lauren, loves OSU! Go Cowboys! She had some leftover fabric from a previous project and asked me to make her a trash bag for her car.  I think it turned out awesome!!  I love my One Yard Wonders book!

Repurposed magazine rack

When my Meemaw passed away last year, I wanted this magazine rack from her house.  I wasn't sure at the time what I was going to do with it, but knew I could do something.  My mom and I always like to go to antique malls/craft stores and we always see things that have been redone similar to this.  I decided to use it in my girls' room for some of their books.  They books, however, just stacked up from the bottom and were hard to get to so I made a fabric sling for it.  I think it turned out nice!  It used to be a dark brown color and my girls picked out this lavender color.  

Memory Game

I wanted to find something quiet and new for the girls to do on the airplane this summer for our trip to OK.  They  recently got a Strawberry Shortcake Memory Game as a gift and loved it!  I had some extra coordinating fat quarters so I made 2 sets out of that and a little matching drawstring back for each.  It was awesome on the airplane! Perfect size for the trays, quiet and they wanted to play it over and over.  All in all, a success!

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!
