New Blog, New Year

 

Welcome!  It's a new year, and a new blog!  

This blog will be mainly for sharing the sewing, cooking, and baking I am trying -- both successes and failures!  While I will be keeping my other blog open, at least for now, I will also be posting my weekly menu plans here.  Eventually, I hope to transfer everything over to this blog.

For today, I just want to share what I am making in the Sewing Department.  I started making a 15 Patch Zipper Pouch using a tutorial from Charise Creates just before Christmas.  Of course, the holidays were very busy and I didn't have any sewing time to speak of.  Hopefully I am back on track!  I am participating in a sew every day project (button is on the sidebar), so I am trying to sew at least 5 minutes each day in 2021 (hopefully more than that)!  So here is where I am at on my zipper pouch:

I have used an old mini charm pack that I had in my stash.  I used a couple pieces out of it, I can't remember what they were used for, and I had the remaining package!  Actually, I have several packages like that!  I don't know what I was making, but I only used a couple pieces out of each mini charm pack.  So I decided to use them up!  Today, I will tackle the zipper part of the tutorial, which is a little different than the way I usually put a zipper in, so we shall see how I do!

That's it for now!  Hope you enjoy the new blog, and find something here you want to try!
