Hunting high and low ...

No, I'm not going to A-ha's farewell concert in town .... I can't find a rucksack pattern I bought just before the holidays. Grrr! I don't understand how things can just disappear ... and then sometimes reappear .. so I'm hoping the fairies will give me a hand.

A couple of weeks ago I decided I needed a little pouch for my I-pod and ear-phones. They are always getting tangled up with something else in my bag. So here is the drawstring bag I made. Very handy for all sorts of things.
And very nice Christmas presents I thought, small and light so postage won't be too high. So today I made 6 for my nieces. (2 families so I could make doubles :) )
They are lined (the yellows are brighter in real life) so they actually look quite good. Now all I have to do is think of something small (and low cost) to put in them. I have a little nephew, too - wondering if he would like one, seeing as his sisters will have one each ???

I must go and check out my stash and see if I have something boyish ....
And who else needs one of these .........

    Nice bags, and most definitely, the little guy would feel left out if he didn't get one.

    Dette har jeg tenkt på lenge, super ide! Tenk på alle ladere og ledninger vi drar med oss rundt omkring - hadde vært greit å få orden på dem..... Blir spennende med Free Motion Quilt Along, ser at du har meldt deg på :o)
