Scrap Therapy

Just finished these two projects. The cell phone case was made from some left over fabric from making the matching purse. The snap and strap was one I had saved from who knows what. This was my first attempt without a pattern. The next one should go together much easier. I'm going to try some velcro closures made to attach to fabric using heat. My plan is to make one each for Sherry, Haley & Kierstin, to match the purses I made for them.

This Scrap Therapy Pocket Pouch was a fun and time consuming project, but I am happy with the outcome. The tote is made for carrying your sewing tools, sissors, threads, etc. The patchwork fabric was made by placing 2x2 inch squares of batik fabric on a gridded, fusible interfacing, ironed and sewn into the 1x1 squares and vala you have patchwork fabric. Well not exactly that easy, it does take some time. This was my first time trying this technique.
