Sewing Some Storage.

Posted on | January 12, 2024 | 5 Comments

Yes, sewing a few little projects for keeping bits and pieces.

I started with a small zipper pouch. It popped up on FB, so I had to watch it several times before I could remember all the steps. No link, I’m afraid. I forgot, then couldn’t find it again. Here is my first try.

It’s a small one, about 4 inches each way.

It has a bagged bottom.

So I figured I didn’t have to stick to the original measurements and found a piece of the Splash fabric – waterproof.

This is about 8 inches long. So now my head is trying to think of other ideas to go with these ones.

Then I was distracted by another design. This one comes from SewCanShe https://sewcanshe.com/the-best-square-basket-pattern-free-tutorial/CanShe. There are lots of patterns/designs on that site. This one is square basket with handles.

It uses two fat quarters and ends up at a good size. The base is an 8 inch square.

I put it to use immediately.

I had taken lots of black and white fabrics off the shelves. All the big pieces went back but I needed somewhere for all the small leftovers. Perfect solution.

This time of year is busy in the garden, but also very productive. The tomatoes have started to ripen.

Can’t complain about that!

Have a good weekend. Cheers, Karen.

    Some cute sewing, those pouches and storage basket will come in handy, I’m sure. And nice to have flavoursome home grown tomatoes.

  • How useful! I love your storage, and thanks for showing them. And those tomatoes, oh, my! We are supposed to get a polar blast here starting tomorrow, so no tender vegetation, but I do like seeing yours!

    Wonderful things sprouting at your place Karen. The zipper pouches are great and very versatile. And look at your tomatoes! They would make a great accompaniment to the zucchini, cucumber and pumpkins that are sprouting in our garden. Happy sewing!
