Easy quick little sewing project! Happened upon a tutorial for this round drawstring pouch on a channel called "Tendersmile Handmade". I used one of Anna Graham's (Robert Kaufman) cotton blend fabrics from her collection "Around the Bend" for the lining.

Great size for gift cards!
The Ginkgo Tree in our front yard...
The Ginkgo Tree represents peace, hope, vitality, strength and endurance.
Wearing it can
bring stillness, contemplation, and enlightenment into your life. It is a symbol of resilience, healing and longevity.
Just finished these little fabric baskets. The 5
x 5 inch square nicely holds a couple of balls of yarn and a knitting project
that I had begun.
The smaller one, about 3 inch square is handy to hold a few sewing and knitting accessories.

The one basket is sitting atop a coordinated stash of fabrics that I pulled out for my next (hopefully :) komebukuro. The 5 inch square basket is also great for storing a stack of fat quarters!
The baskets are also reversible!

This is an art quilt I made using my own variation of a pattern by Lenore Crawford that I did years ago. I was undecided about the top stitching so it got rolled up and stored away with some of my fabrics. I discovered it again as I was going through my stockpile of fabrics. It measures 19 x 24 inches and have been considering I might like to do some sashiko stitching on it and perhaps choose a hidden quilt binding to finally finish it off.At least that's the plan for now :)
A cotton drawstring pouch often sewn using scraps of fabrics on hand. The traditional pouch was used to carry offerings of rice to temples or shrines. Handy little size for knitting projects, to carry your lunch or a great little bag to hold a gift destined for a close friend or relative.
Oh, did I mention it’s reversible!
Another fun little bag to sew using two coordinating square pieces of fabric is the origami drawstring pouch. The sizes of the fabric will determine the finished size of the bag. Tons of tutorials on the internet offering variations in creating this easy to sew little bag!
