Handmade Quilted Wallet

After finishing all my quilting projects, I started to make Christmas scrappy potholders which will be useful to give away for Christmas as gifts...here are some of my handmade Christmas Scrappy Potholders

 

Quilted Baby Bedspread 50X60

Last week I completed this quilted baby bedspread, a log cabin block style.  It was quite tedious as I cut up a 1 1/2 inch and 2 inches of fabrics.  I ran out of fabrics and decided to use some of my green fat squares fabrics that were bought on sale from Hancock Fabrics for $.99.  However, the outcome is excellent.  Backing was made of broadcloth green fabric.  Showing the overall and completed quilted bedspread.

 

 

 

 

 This baby quilted blanket is 30X30 in size.  I call this squared it quilted baby blanket.  A muslin fabric made for backing.

Cosmetic Bags and Pouches

These are the samples I made for your cosmetics and personal care toiletries.  Made several of them, some of them were made in PUL fabric and fabrics or material.  Traveling is one of my weaknesses, I would really like to be organized when I fly, putting away your cosmetics in your luggage is a tedious job.  So what I do is to put them in one container then carry with me a "caddy" where I can hang it up in the bathroom for convenience and easy to reach.

Samples of my cosmetic bags and pouches.

 

 

 The above cosmetic bag is larger where you can put everything from cosmetics to cosmetic brushes and personal care/toiletries. It is made of canvas fabric and lined with linen fabric with pockets inside.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 These were smaller cosmetic bags where you can put cosmetics only.  Made of PUL fabric, lined with nylon fabric.

 This bag is for your shoes, instead of cluttering inside your luggage, you can place them all in one bag like this one.  Sandals and shoes can be put here, at least 3 pairs to 4 pairs of shoes..Made of PUL fabric lined with nylon fabric.

Cosmetic/Toiletries Caddy *Bag*

Do you travel a lot? When we travel, we put all our cosmetics and toiletries anywhere in the hotel bathroom.  They're all cluttered on top of the vanity counter and when in a hurry we just put them in a plastic container and let them sit there until we get back to our destination which is home and started to put them back where they belong.  What I made here is a "cosmetic caddy or toiletries bag" where you can place all your cosmetics, personal care or toiletries in one container.  However, I also made bags or pouches for these cosmetics or toiletries where you can organize once you're in your hotel room or destination.  See samples I made.

 You can place your cosmetic brushes on top and in the middle you can put your liquid make-up and hair brush.  At the bottom part of this toiletries caddy you can put any kind of cosmetic or personal care.

 Once you're done using this you can place all your personal care and cosmetics in a cosmetic pouch or cosmetic bag.  Fold the caddy and can be reused again next time you travel.  This caddy is reusable and washable, environmentally friendly as well. 

Homemade Microwavable Heating Pads

We tend to get headaches, pain on our shoulder after sitting for many hours in front of our computers, sewing, crocheting and many more....I made several heating pads, in different shapes ~ neck-shaped and square filled with beans, rice and mix it with vanilla sticks and cinnamon scents.  All you do is to heat this pad in the microwave for 45 seconds to 2 minutes only and voila...a heating pad for your neck....

 

 

 

 

  CAUTION:  DO NOT OVERHEAT.
