Drawstring Fabric Bags

Drawstring Bags,

In  different  sizes.

My current activities include some holiday gift projects,  and these

drawstring bags are fun and useful as gifts and for gift packaging.

I did not need a pattern, and they are a fun and quick project.

Little Scotties Key Chains

These Little Scotties key rings are made from one of my

fabric designs, are reversable (same color, opposite image on other side),
and are about 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" when finished.

What a cute way to find your keys easily!

I like where the little loops and rings are attached, like a leash for the pup.

100 % cotton fabric with earth friendly dyes are filled with polyester fiberfil,

knitted i-cord loop for metal key ring is made of wool and nylon for strength.

Sculpted Knits

In addition to working with circular needles to knit,

here is a fun project I enjoy, making I-cord,

a circular knit using 4 stitches on double ended needles.

When I first learned to do this,

there was a lot of frustration and foul language,

but after a while it just became enjoyable.

I started making it several years ago for purse handles,

and now use it for key chains,

and most recently, these sculpted knit necklaces,

which have been a real hit at handmade markets.

Little Essentials Pouch

Here's an idea for a quick and easy project:

This little pouch measures about

3 3/4" tall by 2" wide when finished.

All you need is a layer of batting,

fabric to line it (I used cotton denim)

and a cute fabric, this is a washable organic cotton sateen with

earth friendly dyes.

Perfect for your favorite lip glosses or a small flip phone.

Also great for gifting!

Bean Bag Buns Toy Kit

This little guy is the prototype for a new

bean bag pattern kit.

Made of organic cotton sateen, and poly stuffing.

The pattern has 8 to 12 bunnies to a fat quarter,

and 32 to 48 bunnies to a yard,

depending on the fabric type.

The actual bunny from the fabric kit is even cuter!

I added a pom pom tail to this one,

and it is filled with rice.
