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!

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!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
ReplyDeleteThinking 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!
