As much as I am loving my chicken purse, and I am LOVING it, it was so difficult to find anything within its vast inner cavern. So, I picked up some coordinating fabrics at Joann’s and dug out my sewing machine. First I made a wallet, riffing (as I tend to do) on this tutorial from Babyangel. (I used her alternate zipper instructions, found here.)

(completed wallet folded and in better light)
It just needs a snap or some other form of closure. I am so thrilled with how it came out!
Then I got some fabric bits leftover from making knitting project bags and made something else.
(I love that fabric.)
What is it you ask?
It’s one of these, of course!
And it works smashingly!

Whew! A wonderful and productive sewing day!
i love the fabric choices in the wallet!
Thanks! I love them too. I might have to go back and get more. :-D
That is so very cool. I *really* need to get a decent sewing machine again and get back into sewing. You and Weaver are inspiring me.
I almost called you when I pulled out my machine to see if we should have a “sit and sew” :) Tomorrow, I’m going to finish hat number 2!!!
Yay! You’re so craftastic!
Very clever little organizer! And such bright, happy colors!
Look at you! I need you to come down here and teach me how to use my machine. I have a love/hate relationship with it right now.
