Orange Bag Tote/ maybe Grapefruit Bag?

Ok, now...at 8:30 this morning a Jerry from Habitat Re-stores was here right on the dot to take down my kitchen.  It is almost 4 and he is still here...humming away, taking down my kitchen. I, too have been busy.  I cancelled my work today and I have been sewing.  A friend had given me an empty orange bag for re-purposing.  Today was that day for me.  A rainy day that I needed to be home for anyway!

What is better than one orange/grapefruit bag tote?  Two:)

Then after I took the pictures, I decided to add random buttons!

Some lovely Bradford Pear blossoms in the background!

Onion bag repurposed

We are trying to declutter our lives..Now we are in the kitchen.  In going through the kitchen drawers, I found all these plastic forks, spoons, etc that the grandchildren use.  We usually keep the plastic childrens' plates down below where the children can reach them and thus help themselves.  How to organize all these spoons, etc?  I took the bag that the onions came in, washed it and cut away the paper.  I sewed 3 inch strips of fabric, finished edges with zig-zag and made the bag as usual.  I sewed a strip of Velcro on the top so little hands can help themselves.



Onion bag

Still up late, a bit..tiny bit, wired still from the steroids..I decided to make this little bag.  I was cleaning up after our Sit and Sew today, when I saw this empty onion bag and started wondering what I could do with it. I took some of the "made" fabric and sewed up this funky bag.  It was so much fun to make! 

NOW, it is bed time....xxoo
