In the last couple of months I've done a little bag making in between other projects. This is something I enjoy. I started by making myself a new wallet. My prior one, though much beloved, was completely worn out. Because I'm 100% a little old lady apparently, I wanted one that had both a zip pocket and a place for my checkbook. I made this one out of some rainbow vinyl and dinosaur fabric in my stash and it fills me with delight.

Last year sometime I found this wonderful crazy knitting fabric and fell in love with it. I love the style of the design and the color palette was gorgeous. I don't usually buy new fabric but I couldn't resist and snagged some of this. I made this fairly large knitting/project tote for my knitting friend Kristin's birthday this January. There's still enough left to make another project bag so that'll probably be on the radar at some point.

She's also a scientist so I lined it with my happy lab glassware fabric.
Finally I made this new clutch purse/wallet for my sister for Christmas. She and my mom both really like this pattern which is from the Greenback Wallet Trio from Sew Sweetness. I've made them several over the years, when one wears out I just make another. The outside is some purple cordouroy from some pants I'd worn out but had been saving for something just like this, and I couldn't help putting some more dino fabric inside.
So a fun few bags over the last few months, but probably no more for a little while, I'm trying to focus on big quilt projects while I have a little bit of time.
They're all fun - but the dinosaurs made me laugh.
