The condition of my sewing room has deteriorated over the last month or so to the point where I could not find my rotary cutter... it was time for a clean up. I spent over an hour putting things away, folding fabric, sorting through piles, etc. and still no rotary cutter. I tried to think of the last time I used it...then, I remembered I used it at a recent guild sewing day---it was in the bag I took to the sewing day.

Monday's Strength: Song of Songs 3:2

Maybe they will be my "Christmas in July"
sewing projects!
The Gnomes and Fa-la-la-la-lamas
are on the table!

These pouches don’t require much cutting or pressing. They start with two squares of fabric and after a few folds and a few seams, you get this sweet pouch to brighten up your space. Better than that, they ...
Before Christmas, I whipped up a handful of Lola zipper pouches to give away as Christmas and birthday presents.
I started with the intention of making two pouches with some sort of bird or cat print for a colleague, but while I was digging about in my stash, I decided to make a few more. I could have kept going – they always make great gifts – but I was trying to be realistic about how many I had time to make.
Until now, I had not made the smaller size in the Lola ...
