4 hearts

Schools were canceled here today due to freezing rain. I have the car since i drove my husband to work and did get to my lap swim, but then I didn't have to tutor this afternoon.
I finished two more heart sachets which are still only pinned closed because I'm going to add dried lavender once I pick some up this afternoon. I'm going to add them to my Etsy shop in the next few days.

Next, I decided to take apart the last step in the pyramid bag that I showed the other day, so I could reverse the end that the zipper pull ended up on.
I'm showing it again because I'm still looking for the perfect tutorial that I could print out.

The one I used might do if I made a few of my own notes on it.
I think it's a fun way to use some of my painted fabrics. Just curious if anyone has a pattern or tutorial that they like for a pyramid bag.

Holly! I am saving these for my idea folder if I ever can get the girl I 'tutor/babysit' to try sewing. Heck, I need to make some for myself! :^)

I made a bunch of these bags from a pattern several years ago, and actually enjoyed the process (usually I find this sort of thing too fiddly). The pattern was called "Humbug Bags" and it included 3 sizes. It's distributed by Make It Easy Sewing and Crafts -- a Canadian company -- and the URL is quiltwoman.com. Enjoy!

I haven't seen these as a pouch before -- so fun! And yes, a great was to showcase those beautiful handmade fabrics!

love those hearts. I made some of those bags a few years ago and used a pattern that was in a Quilting Arts/Interweave Gifts magazine - I think it was.
