Lunch Bags

I bought some ripstop nylon for a project I wanted to try and it turned out to be a total failure. Since I had to think of something else to do with it, I decided to join it with another failed project and see what happened.

The new project was a success! The sandwich wraps turned out great! But it really needed something more…

So then I took a purse pattern and modified it a bit to become a lunch bag.

Then with the little piece of scrap that was left over, I made a snack bag.

The result… a lunch bag that is perfect for a busy day of running errands or a picnic lunch at the park!

I love the one in brown!

Denim Bandana Quilt

I finally finished it! I really don’t like doing the binding and there were so many other projects distracting me… But now it’s done and I love it! It is such a nice heavy quilt that reminds me of rolling green hills with grazing horses and bluegrass music. It makes me want to sit in the backyard in the sun and read a Larry McMurtry novel.

While that little daydream may not ever happen, I do have plans for my little quilt. It will make a great place to sit this summer while watching my guys play Ultimate Frisbee at Bible Camp or rocking out at Creation Fest!

Shopping Bag Fabric

JoAnn’s has a new fabric made just for making shopping bags. It’s kind of a cross between paper and fabric. It’s easy to work with and keeps it’s shape nicely when it’s done.

I think it would make a nice beach bag because it would dry quickly.

If only it came in more prints…

I love how it stays open

 

it folds up nicely, too
