CHOOKSHED 2025 CHALLENGE February … No.10. Project bags.

 This month’s no. 10 suits me really well. I have been enjoying making some of these over the last week and will be making a few more.

I bought this panel a few years back when driving through South Australia. I think I may have bought it in Loxton, mmmm ?????. 

The panel is from Lori Holt and it is to make a few pouches/project bags.


I even managed to buy the matching zips at another time.
She even has a video tutorial HERE


I have some large pieces of the plastic I can use too.


I found this chocolate at the supermarket a while back. Bought it for hubby, Tony, as a treat. I kept the wrappers so I can make them into a pouch too. Will have to try something new for this though…


So have a look HERE to see what everyone is planning on making this month for their challenge.

Perfect. You will have fun. They will be so pretty. How cool to have Tony chocolate. Definitely worth making use of the wrappers.

I have seen those panels for sale and have been very tempted but I'm on an essential buy only I can't wait to see them made Jo

What a fantastic panel. Hmm, how will you use the wrappers. Someone gave my Tony a bar of that chocolate too.

That panel looks amazing Jo. I look forward to seeing what you create - I love anything Lori Holt. I watched her YouTube channel where she showed her sewing room & I went a very vivid shade of Green with Envy 💚 Just amazing!

Those panels look like fun! I love Lori Holt's fabrics and projects. How perfect are those chocolates for Tony!?! Are they as good as Cadbury Dairymilk (that's my #1 favourite).

Pretty coloured zips for your bags, I look forward to seeing those.
I've never heard of Tony's chocolate ... what have I been missing out on?

Love the idea for this fabric! And the Tony wrappers will be interesting and very fun

That is a fascinating panel and what a bonus to have found the matching zips as well.
