I have plans to join in at least one blog hop in February, which is a good way to get me motivated to create and finish a project. If other blog hops interest me, I might join in a few more. Thank you all who visit my little blog and I hope I have inspired you at least a little over these past 10+ years of blogging. I know those of you who have blogs that I follow have certainly inspired me!
On to the bags~
I have made several of these zippered Tool or Notions Bags and every time I make them they sell quickly. These do take a bit of time to make, so this time I thought I would make 3 at time. They all have the same knitting motif fabric on the outside, but each bag has a different accent color outside and inside I like to use a variety of fabrics for the pockets. One reason is that once you use the bag, you are more apt to remember what you put inside the pocket if it is a different fabric from the other fabrics.

| I love this colorful knitting motif fabric. It's called Knitty Kitty by Benartex, apparently from a line of fabric that has cats on it and this must be a coordinating fabric. I usually don't buy much in recent fabric and this one is a line of fabric that must be gone or nearly gone as I had a hard time finding any of it. A friend had made a knitting bag with this fabric that she got on closeout and bought the rest. So I searched online and finally found some about a month ago. I don't remember where I got it, but it was a shop in Alaska! I got a little of the gray/black color way too. |

| Inside each bag are 3 zippered pockets (with my handmade zipper pulls) and in between the zippered pocket are more pockets to put things. These make great bags for knitting tools, which is why I used the knitting theme fabric. But you can use them to hold sewing notions, first aid supplies, pencils, beading, etc... inside them too. |
These will be either going to the yarn shop early next year (2019) or I will add one or more to my Etsy Shop when I get the chance to add them. But with Christmas tomorrow, there is no need to list them on Etsy now.
