Both have a 2 inch box bottom base, allowing the pouches to stand up and providing more stability while making it easier to access the contents inside.
The larger pouch measures 8.25 x 9 inches. The smaller pouch measures 7 x 6 inches.
Both are quite roomy to hold a variety of items.
Love the fresh, colorful spring look. Vibrant and lively colors typical of a spring palette.
Guess I'm thinking spring!
Cut three pieces at 4.5" x 6" for left front, right front and folding the third piece in half for the pocket. The back piece of fabric and the batting were cut at 8.5" x 6". I did a bit of quilting using one of the decorative stitches on my sewing machine.
You can find an easy to follow tutorial over at made with love where she provides seven variations. I sewed project #2.
Finished Mug Mat measures 5.5" x 7"
Time for a little bowl of Greek Penne Pasta Salad!
Typically it's a go-to summer salad, but I've been craving it. I cooked up a 16 oz. box of penne pasta and added all my ingredients. Easy to make.

(add remainder when serving)
Toss Together! So Simple!
Or add any ingredients of your choice!
The fabric I used to sew this zip pouch is a denim fabric (looks like vintage bleached denim) I purchased back when Joann's was still open.
The lining is a pretty poppy design that is 100% cotton fabric.
I used a brass denim zipper and attached a Tim Holtz Idea-Ology brass token for the zipper pull.
The pouch measures 7.5 x 6 inches. The two darts in the base provide a bit more room so it isn't completely flat.
Going through my paper supplies, I found several of these that I had previously printed out onto cardstock and hadn't used. I trimmed off the white cardstock and ended up with just the right size to cover these 3.5 x 5 inch field style notebooks. As luck would have it, they coordinated well with the colors of the notebooks.
I used Heat 'n Bond Ultra Bond double-sided heat activated adhesive and ironed these onto the notebooks which fit perfectly. Love the sarcastic humor!

Put my Cricut machine to work to create these 2027 mini desk calendars. Print and cut projects available with a Cricut Access trial subscription. Used sturdy 110lb/300gsm white and cream cardstock by Recollections. The 5 inch mini wood easels are just the right size!
This was a simple project covering mini composition notebooks with fabric using Heat 'n Bond ULTRA HOLD. A double-sided iron on heat activated adhesion that is permanent. No sewing, no messy glues! Works within seconds! I bought it to make book cloth but saw someone ironing it directly onto fabric then directly onto composition notebooks. I loved the idea!
Placed my Teflon sheet between the cover and pages when I ironed. Didn't want any adhesive sticking to my ironing mat or book pages.
It's a no steam application, quick with great results!
