Candy Corn Season!

My MOMS Club is having a big Halloween Party/Open House and I thought I'd make another raffle prize. Just a little trick-or-treat bag for a toddler. It took me about 2 hours because I had to iron. Iron!
And I was watching Romancing the Stone from start to finish.

Okay, Joan Wilder, write us out of this one.

Linen's Tomb

"What?! A plain linen bag?! No way you made that!"

To quote Albert from The Birdcage, "Well, one must want a hint of color..."

Ahh! There it is!

I had this bag all cut out and waiting for interfacing. I finally went out to get some, ironed it on and it sort of destroyed the integrity of the bag. Like, some of it ironed on and some of it didn't. So, I peeled it off and put it aside for a better idea. Which happened right before the house happened. And bathroom and knitting.

Since I'm most likely heading to Phoenix next week, I thought I'd better finish it. Although it would be funny to hand her the cut out pieces and say, "Isn't it the thought that counts?"

Detail of bird pocket:

Now I'm onto another project. For a high school graduate. It's gonna be Aunt Bootsi great.

A purse! The universe spoke to me!

After one of my favorite ladies reported that her purse was stolen from her car which was parked in her DRIVEWAY, the boys and I decided that Ms. Marcel Wave was a purse. A quick and dirty purse. Made in a couple of hours. Between finishing my other boot.

Totally worth it.

3 skulls and a bag...

 

Just Dance...bags.

Hmmm,...I wonder which one is Grace's?

Hot Pocket.

My first project in the new sewing room. Another bag. This one with a pocket!

Ooooh!

I hope the recipient likes pattern. Lots and lots of pattern.
