Another, more simple project using SU! Fabric.  I made these bags to give to my current Stamper's Club members (shh…they don't know yet!).  Club members get to come and make 5 cards for free (or a total of 10 for only $5).  I thought this might be a good thank you gift so they have something to bring their supplies (like scissors, SNAIL adhesive) and then take their cards home safely.  There are pockets on each side to hold their supplies.

The bag in the very front was my first attempt and I miscalculated the size so it doesn't hold very many cards.  I corrected the sizing for the other two.  The finished size is approx. 6" x 8" so they will should hold up to 10 cards/envelopes.

I finally got around to using some of the Stampin' Up! Fabrics that I have had laying around.   You get 3 fat quarters in every package for $9.95.  The fabric on the left one is Spice Cake and is currently available.  The fabric used on the right is Springtime Vintage which is now retired.

These are my first attempts. I haven't sewn in a long time and had to dust off my sewing machine!  These cell phone pouches have pockets on either side to hold ID/credit cards, cash…

Please note that I did not use a pattern.  I just measured my iPhone and went from there.  The clips holding the straps are from the "M" store.

I used the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL die for the ruffles and the Circles #2 Originals and Blossom Party Originals dies for the flowers.

I made this banner to put on the drawer of the "antique" desk so guests would know where to put the wedding cards for Nina's wedding.

My friend Jennifer decorated the rest of the desk…guests were encouraged to write their names/special wedding wishes on the rocks so the couple could keep them as remembrances of the day instead of a guest book.
