Scarf Bag

This is when being a pack rat comes into some use!

I had a burnt scarf that I couldnt throw away just lying around the bedroom looking lost. So the other day I decided to make a bag from it to wear under my jilbab.

Cue loads of pics of each stage. :D

Fold and sew scarf to form a double layer.

Fold together and sew again leaving a flap.

Make pocket big enough for phone and sew inside bag.

Check to see it fits.

Add strap! (The strap is not finished but i got tired so will do it another time)

And now I want to make loads more.

More notebooks!

This week I was on a creative roll and made a few things.

1st up was a mini notebook using a tutorial from my fav site Cut Out and keep.

The creators name is Sarah M and here is my sample before and after decorating with foam shapes:
