Wonderful Fun Fabrics

I was wondering around Hobby Lobby this week. Which is a very dangerous thing to do, because I always find something I want. I began to browse the fabric department and I fell in love with some vintage inspired prints. Sewing is not my thing these days, but these fabrics made me wish I was a sewer. So I decided to get me 1/3 yd of about 4 different fabrics and see what I could come up with. If all else failed, I could make some more of my flea market pouches. Then I wondered over to the canvas bag section. If you've never looked at this section it is worth a browse. There are some great canvas bags out there, very cheap, to add whatever fun stuff you want to add to them.
I picked up this small, zippered bag and was on my way.

I did make another flea market belt but I also covered the zippered bag in these great fabrics and made a garage sale pouch. This little pouch is big enough for my money, business cards, sun glasses, keys, and cel phone. And you don't need much else when garage sale-ing. I can just grab it and go, and I've got everything I need to zip in and zip out. Of course I had to add some vintage goodies to it to bling it up.
And I like how the flaps turned out on the flea market belt. The weight of the keys holds it down, and there is no need for velcro or fasteners.

Here is another "in process" and a couple more of those great fabrics.

This has been a fun project. I'm actually thinking of offering these for sale. Any takers???
Here's a tip. When you are out garage sale-ing, don't pass up old metal belts.

There is a lot of fun hardware in there for jewelry, sewing, and other projects.
See ya in the Junk Pile,
