Working on some serendipity pieces.

These pieces are for me. All of these fabrics was not going in the direction that was intended originally, which is totally fine. Sitting on a shelf, they do not spark joy. While making something which we can enjoy, do.
This project folder with zipper pouch is a first, using clear vinyl.
Next up is the applique roll with a difference. This is a cardboard tube, inside of this supplies like thread, thimble and scissors can be stored while not in use.
It will be used to keep longer pieces of border applique neatly and easier to keep together.
Also added a zipper pocket in the top.
Placed a batting or felt liner on the inside to keep the pieces from moving around, similar to a design wall.
Next up is a bag for applique blocks. The side panels have zipper pockets as well on the inside.
The applique book bag main body is growing with side panels, pockets made from fabric and soft mesh.
The pockets with the mesh has a flannel lining, to help keep things from moving about too much.
Also just a spot to slide blocks under to keep them in the book bag.
The next step is sew the binding on all the sides, the two outside bag panels and the two inside bag panels. This needs to happened before sewing the zipper band in place.
Project bags for stitching and applique to work on the go. The snow is still coming down, it has been one very snowy week so far...Perfect for handstitching and staying indoors until the snow tapers off and we need to go and shovel some more.
