I filled my time this weekend with some sewing. I had been wanting to make a bag for my daughter to hold some of her art supplies for a while. I didn’t remember the pattern/steps well so I did an experiment first.

I made several mistakes on this first one, but it turned out well enough. It’s missing the tabs though.

A clear polka-dotted pouch with an orange trim, a blue zipper and silver zipper pulls.

This is the bag for my daughter. I’m happy with how it turned out. (She was excited when I sent her the pictures too. I suppose that’s what matters! Ha!)

A boxed pouch with clear strawberry vinyl on top and pink vinyl on bottom.

Then I thought I’d make this tiny one with cork, which came together really quickly. I haven’t sewn with cork before. Is it usually very, VERY thin? The bag is adorable, but I think I’ll remake it with interfacing so it feels a bit more solid.

A small zippered pouch made with cork fabric with a swivel hook.
