A bag for my bags....

Can you believe I don't already have one of these??? My bags are always just shoved underneath in my sink cupboard. I decided to use some of the fabric that I am hoarding and make a plastic bag holder. The black satin ribbon that I used for the "hanger" is the new ribbon from SU in the Spring mini...see even usin my ribbon stash ;)

Tea cozy

I made this tea cozy using my favorite...."Figgy Pudding" by Basic Grey...fabric. I can't get enough of this stuff, needless to say, by next year all of my Christmas "stuff" will be finished in this fabric. I have my tree skirt almost finished, I just need to do the binding....stockings and table runner is cut, but clearly won't be finished by Christmas....next year though*sigh*!!
I used the wide striped ribbon (from the Christmas mini last year) for the ties instead of making the straps. You can't see it, but I did a small zig-zag stitch to attach the ribbon to the fabric....one at the top and one at the bottom. I am going to add elastic to make it scrunch better, but have yet to do that!
