Tool Bags

I recently made another tool bag for a friend's birthday and it turned out WAY better than when i first made one for hubby.  lol i guess practice makes perfect. 


these were made about a year ago...they might look rigid but they aren't. 


this one was made last week.  




I have always had problems with zippers, but eventually i will get it just right. lol

Upcycled Military Uniform iPad Case

Made an Ipad case for a friend using old military uniform.



Back
pocket with button closure


Front with button closure, with pocket





added rings to the sides so she could also use it as a purse


Upcycled Military Uniform Art Tools Mug Organizer

I used some fabric from a military uniform to make this organizer. Added velcro on the back, securing it together when slipped over a mug.





 pockets for pens, pencils, brushes....

Upcycled Denim Embroidered Coasters/Patches

Our 50 year old kitchen was being remodeled and during that time, i had grown to know and love my contractors, so i decided to make them a little something to thank them for their great company and work!


The finished coasters, aren't they just cute?! 


 Using some denim remnants from a pair of jeans for their names
 


 The other side is a fabric with Hong Kong on it (where i am from)

bias tape sewn on, done. 

Valentine's Day Gifts for the Hubby

For Valentine's Day, I decided to just make something instead of buying gifts for hubby.





I made a very simple cushion for hubby to use at work. i used a pillow case, stuffed pillow stuffing in it and made the cushion cover for it, adding the I "heart" U on the outside.





I also made a letter holder for his desk using left over crafts

the clothes pin can hold a picture or his business card





Scrap Fabric & Denim Gifts

I dug around and found some remnants and thought to myself  "uh... what can i make with these?" Well i came up with a few useful things to make for my friend.
