Wide Bottom Bag - Sewing Tutorial

I was inspired to try and make a bag to  store my sewing machine foot and cord. This is my first time using this method of bag making so it took me a while to sew together. I quickly learned if you stitch too close to the zipper; it will get caught with the lining. I made a Video Tutorial so my next bag will be easier and quicker to make :)

Activity bag - coloring book and crayon bag

For a girls birthday gift, I decided to make this activity bag I had seen on pinterest. I have to admit, now that I look at it months later, I really wish I would have used white thread when sewing the velcro! It was my first time doing this project and it took me 2 day to complete. I actually filmed the whole process and posted it on you tube, if anyone is interested or curious of how I made it. 

Tutorial: crayons, coloring book bag (Pinterest inspired)

I also made the crayons shaped like animals out of chocolate molds. I have to admit, that project was not as successful ( I should have used a thicker mold). The chocolate molds created really thin crayons which cracked. Ugh! I was so excited about this gift. I just wish I would have had more time to work on the details.

Overall, I did it and of coarse I will probably be modifying this project so instead of carrying crayons and coloring books. Its going to be carrying emergency diapers, wipes and extra baby outfits.
