I used up a lot of small pieces of fabric yesterday on these projects. Both came from free tutorials I found online.
The first was these little tissue pouches. These were super-fast to make and I am really pleased with how they turned out. There are loads of tutorials for these online and, to be honest, I can't remember which one I used now!
The second project I completed was ten of these little button pouches. I adapted the tutorial in all sorts of ways to suit the materials I had. Very pleased with the results. Also pleased to have mastered using my sewing machine to sew on the buttons.
Haven't photographed my third project yet, which was some pencil cases. That one can wait for tomorrow - might even manage some instructions as well!

This blog shows my recycled denim creations, along with tutorials for items I have designed myself. I collect old jeans (a strange collection, I know!) and cut them up to make bags, purses, animals and other items of varying sizes and shapes. I then sell these to raise money for weomen and children in the town of Utange, near Mombasa, in Kenya. I help women to set up their own businesses and am supporting the building of a new school for disabled children.
