Continuing with all the sewing I've been doing, I decided to make some zippy pouches. Neutral and kind of generic on the outside... then BAM! Pretty and colorful fabric on the inside! I used scraps from the apron project, and finds from the Scrap Exchange.

i love them, cathy! what kind of sewing machine do you use?
I am considering purchasing one to try to make this: http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/pdfs/Tree_Skirt.pdf
but, ok, it looks a little bit advanced. Any chance you do commissioned work? :o)
That tree skirt is SO cute! In fact, I am using an Amy Butler design for a few Christmas gifts this year. Her patterns and instructions are pretty easy to follow.
I have a very basic Kenmore sewing machine... My grandmother got it for our family about 10-12 years ago, and I took it from my parents house a few years back.
I'd be happy to come by and help you make it if you want to do a crafting day or something! A sewing machine is definitely handy to have around.
I want to try this next:
