From Bits and Pieces


I completed another cover for my business card holder.  This one I made using many different scraps of vintage linens.  I used the same blue feed sack fabric I used on my "Junk" bag shown below.


It goes with the bag rather nicely.  I love using bits of this and pieces of that to create something functional.


When I add the Ipod case that Renee sent me, I feel like I have a complete ensemble.  What are you working on today?

Blessings,

    I love using bits and pieces too. Just haven't had much time lately.
    Love your card holder and bag. Did you use a pattern for the bag? I need to look through my patterns. I think I remember having one that said Junk.
    Thanks for the inspiration.
    Oh...I' finishing up 3 Roman shades today for a special order.
    Not the most fun thing to do, but it's what I do.

    That is so cool Renee, what fun to see these lovely hand made items.

    Thanks too for visiting my blog. It is so nice to know someone is reading what I have to say, my way of creating at this point in my life.

    I used to do crafts when I was younger. Did you ever see drape dolls? I made many of them. I also made teddy bears and bunnies out of fabric, dressed them and customized them according to who I gave them to. It was fun.

    Be blessed!
