I was up late sewing last night, which is becoming the norm for me on the night before Sew & Tell Friday. But it's just so satisfying to end the week with a nice finish!
First I finished my Nicey Jane Grocery Bag Dispensers:
And since this "recipe" was from the Moda Bake Shop, it only seemed appropriate to use some Moda twill tape for the hanging tab.
I finished these before midnight (which is kind of early for me on a Sew & Tell Friday "eve"), so I decided to start a whole new project and whip up this adorable Patchwork Pencil Pouch:
This pouch was designed by Vanessa over at Little Big Girl Studio, and the awesome tutorial can be found here. It's quick and fun! Even the zipper was super easy to install.
This project was perfect for using just the tiniest bit of Verna fabric from my stash, and I just love patchwork.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.
Happy sewing!
Mary
LOVE it!!! You picked some really cute springy prints. I might have to do a Flickr pool for these. . .
ReplyDeleteYour grocery bag dispensers are awesome as well. I'd probably have to make about 20 to house all the bags floating around my house ;)
Wow you stay up way later than I ever could! I love the plastic bag holders, I need one of those, the plastic bags seems to be bursting out of my pantry. I like the pencil pouch too. You have such cute fabric :)

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful little dispensers! I love the reuse of the Moda ribbon. They make me want to rethink getting bags at Costco. ;)
Wonderful projects. Pretty items and useful too.
ReplyDeleteI want one!! You're sending one to me, right? haha. I really should make one for myself. I'm actually collecting nicey jane to make some stuff for my kitchen so these would fit right in! The pencil pouch is awesome too, Vanessa is a really cool person. You did great!
ReplyDeleteThe grocery bag holder, very cute...also I really like the pencil case!
ReplyDeleteOh, both your bag dispensers and the zippered pouch are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI have a giveaway going on all weekend long on my blog if you want to pop over!
I love your finishes this week!! I think the fabric choices probably swayed me! I need to go make myself a new grocery bag holder now, mine is looking a bit drab compared to your pretty ones.
ReplyDeleteSo, so cute!! I may have to look into this "sew & tell friday"..I could always use some inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI like both of these! I especially like your fabric choices.

ReplyDeleteFantastic finishes! I am so in love with Nicey Jane. Very cute pencil case.
ReplyDeleteMary, these are great projects!!! Love the Moda strip you used for hanging the plastic bag dispensers. Great fabrics on those as well as the Verna squares in your pencil pouch. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove your grocery bag holders! Pity my government banned grocery bags! I might have to go over to LGB Studio and try out her pouch tutorial as therapy! Thanks for the link.
