A pouch for my friend. I used this free appliqué pattern, and then just made up the size of the pouch to go what looked good to my eyes.
This bag was a pattern test for Clover and Violet. The Cecelia Bag. I believe that the pattern release is today, so I think it's okay to show the photo, I know there were lots of photos on social media of the various testers' bags. I've attempting to do a lot of using what I have, so I made the front and back pocket panels using scraps from my bin. The rest of the fabric and supplies all came from my stash, too. I was lucky to have all of the hardware that I needed without having to purchase anything.
Some reusable shopping bags that I am sending to my SIL in CA. I made them following this tutorial. These came together okay, but they ended up being smaller than I anticipated. Next time I would make them a bit bigger, possibly and do the top edge just a bit differently. They do roll up very nicely so that they can be carried in your purse.
I also made myself an ear warmer wrap. I figured that if I was on my second day off of work, due to the cold, it might be a good idea to make something to keep my ears warm. I used a combination of these two tutorials: this one and this one. Each tutorial has you sew a button on for closure, but I just used Velcro on mine. It came out a bit wide… it looks like a hat in this photo, but it's not. Next time, I think I would make it just a tiny bit narrower. I plan to test it out this evening.

The wrap looks like it would be very soft! I could use an ear wrap today. Even in Florida .....it's COLD!
Great projects, Sally ... especially the applique'd pouch :D I do love anything with a zipper, and the scrappy applique is icing on the cake :) Glad you're back to blogging too!!
