Craftaholics Handmade Gift Exchange Part 2

Now that my correct handmade gift partner has received her gift I can show everbody what I madce her.  The yellow and blue squares are coasters, and the thing on the coasters is a keychain I made. I'm sorry for the bad picture.  t was really hard to get all three gifts in one picture.




The smaller bag is made to be worn accross your body. 
The interior is made from the leg of a pair of blue jeans that used to belong to my husband.  It has two inside pockets made with the same material as the exterior.  Yes, that is my feet in the picture.  It was really hard for me to take the picture of the interior of this bag.  I took many pictures trying to show both inside pockets.

The exterior of this tote is made from a t-shirt and the interior was a table cloth.  I cut the pieced and ironed a heavy weight interfacing to the t-shirt before sewing it together. 

This is the backside of the tote.  I added a flap to help keep it closed, but I didn't want to cover the picture on the front.

The interior pocket is a pocket on pocket.  The smaller pocket is just the right size for you cell phone or keys.


I didn't think to take a picture of the keychain or coasters by themselves.  Luckily I did take a picture of a few of the keychains together.  I sent her the middle keychain with the blue beads.

Hawley Pirates Flag

I made this flag at the request of my sisters-in-law for the family canoe trip this past weekend.  It would have been great fun flying it from a canoe or kayak and trying to protect it from being stolen by other family menbers.  If only I hadn't forgot it at home along with many other items we forgot for the trip.
