A couple of small projects

I'm still working on my "long quilts" (as in, "Wow - these are crazy labour intensive") quilts, so in order to have something new to post today, tonight I whipped up a couple of small projects. 

One of which was this gym bag!



 Because I joined a gym in my neighbourhood today!  :)  I'm going to get fit - but first, I'm going to get really cute accessories!




(With cute pockets inside them!)

And I'm also going to make a little drawstring bag for my flat iron, combs/brushes and a little matching make up case, but this is all I have for now.

It was really fun making this bag (about 20 inches long by 10 inches tall) but I think my next prototype gym bag will be a rectangular one with removable inserts for stuff. 

And this is a not very good picture of the bag (I have the handles stretched so they look wonky but they're really not) because I wanted to show


part of my thread collection.

I've been collecting old spice racks at thrift stores and garage sales and re-purposing them into thead racks.   It seems like the more of these shelves I get, the more thread I accumulate, but I off-set the consumerism with eco-friendly storage.  :)

Hopefully, next Monday I'll produce something finished.  Or who knows - maybe this Wednesday!

Happy Monday everyone!

  1. These are adorable! I'm so envious. I'm also totally in love with the idea of using re-purposed spice racks to contain your thread. I've been trying to think of a cute way to store my thread on my walls, out of the reach of little hands. I might have to steal this idea!

  2. What gorgeous fabric! I love the idea of accessorising before you go to the gym;-)I bet you have lots of requests for gym and running shoes bags now - the pod shape is genius!

    Thinking of collecting old spice racks now - what a clever idea. I have lots of containers with threads all over the place but it's much nicer to have them out there being seen in glorious technicolour!

So, apparently I'm open for business again. :) Say hi if you like!
