February & March CHOOKSHED challenge

 I know it’s a bit late but here it is.

February I was to work on making project bags/pouches. 

So here is bag no. 7. I think I like how this one is working.


I decided to put a plastic front so I can see what’s in the bag. I received this fat quarter for a birthday swap a few years ago. I love it. I started by sewing a border around the plastic edges so there was no plastic in the side seams. So much easier.


I started attaching the zip before I realised I should have turned the top strip up the other way. Oops. I’m not changing it.


I did all the sewing and am really happy. Time to turn it out the right way.


So the printed panel that was supposed to be the front of the bag I put in as the lining in the middle. It can be seen through the plastic window. I think this is my favourite so far. 


All up, 7 project bags made and 1 chocolate zippered pouch.


I did email the chocolate company the photo of what I did.

Now for March # 2 challenge project.

Mine is to get this quilt quilted. 

I have started, actually, done more than I thought.
As you can see by this block the top was done in 2019-2020. 

It has some quilting done already so it’s time to get it done. 

Now is time to link up with Deana and go see what everyone else has done in February and what they will be working on in March
