A friend is having a big birthday this month, one of those ending with a zero. She spins fiber into yarn so she falls into the category of ‘handmade worthy’, someone who appreciates a well crafted item.
There is a wonderful pattern out called Sew Together Bag, available over at Craftsy.
You can see I’m a quilter, I have a lot of fabric on hand that at first glance looks like it clashes, but will work together beautifully.
This is a fun multi pouch bag, anyone can find a use for this. Come on women, we always need another fun storage item!
As you can see, three inner zippered pouches with a nice surprise when you open them.
A pop of bright red inside.
The instructions were very good and clear, I like how the raw edges are enclosed with binding.
I also love the way the zipper frames the bag and can be used as handles.
I know I’ll be making many more of these.
Birthday girl was so thrilled with her present. She immediately turned around and gave me one.
Some of her incredible handspun two ply yarn. The black has silk in it, the brown in 100% wool. Both soft and lovely. I think this will become a hat for Joel.

The bag is amazing! Your work is so precise and beautiful and I love that picture of Sonny! Thank you so much for coming last night, both of you! It was such fun!
Yeah, can’t let your birthday go by unmentioned….
That is a really cool pattern!
Someone has to be special for me to sew for them too. I have been hurt by lack of appreciation in the past, so I rarely sew for others.
I would rather spend more money on a gift than my time and effort for someone who doesn’t appreciate it.
