Mini Totes

I had fun making these super cute mini totes for my neighbors' three year old twins.  They are always carrying around a bag with little toys so I thought these would be perfect for them.

I used cotton webbing for the handles.  The blue and red fabrics are from the Country Girls line by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake, and the peach and blue fabrics are by Rae Hoekstra from her Lotus Pond collection.  The bags finish at 8" x 11".

Pocket Mending Book and Pincushion

Heidi Staples at Fabric Mutt has done it again with a great tutorial...the Pocket Mending Book.  I needed a pincushion for our December guild meeting holiday pincushion swap and I was stressing over what to create.  When I saw Heidi's new tutorial, it gave me a good idea to use her tutorial to make a pincushion and a matching mending book.  And here is the result!




And look at the cute back:



The fabric is Country Girls, by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake with a few other scraps.
