One more scrappy zipper pouch

Hello, and welcome! Remember the DIY Reversible Quilted Placemats Tutorial I shared here last year? At the time I also shared an envelope pouch with some leftover strips of fabric (read here about the DIY scrappy envelope pouch). Well, even after all that I still had small scraps of fabric in need of using...so I made another pouch:

Crafting Goals for 2025

Hello, and welcome to 2025! 

At the beginning of every new year I try to summarize my crafting goals for the following 12 months. Last year was the year of destashing and while I'm proud to say I did a good job of using up some of my fabric and yarn and avoided buying new supplies, I didn't really destash as much as I wanted. In a nutshell, my craft supplies closet is still one big mess.

Crafting Goals for 2025


So in 2025 instead of a different goal, I'm committing to following up on the destashing. I'm currently in search of original projects for fabric and yarn leftovers that I can fit within the rest of me hectic life schedule and that we can either use ourselves or gift to someone else. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful new year!
