Scrappy Bib

I've said before I like playing in my scraps. Here's a little patchwork bib I whipped up:

Basically, just sew together some scraps to make a piece large enough for a bib. Then, quilt this new fabric to a piece of flannel. Then find a larger leftover fabric for the reverse side. Sew the front to the back wrong sides together along the edges, making sure to leave a few inches un-sewn for turning. Turn right side out and press. Next, edge stitch, which also closes the opening.  Add a snap and you're done.

Project bag

I've made a few bags and totes in the past. Some of them are made from scrappy blocks.

 

I made this project bag using some Laurel Burch fabrics. It has pockets on the back and front and one inside pocket. 

I used some handle straps I had on hand.

This bag was a prize awarded to someone who played all the Rounds of Quidditch in the Fall 2014 term. I was so happy to be able to send it to my knitting friend and fellow Hufflepuff.
