Nesting Fabric Bowls Owl Style

 I made 1 nine inch bowl, 3 five inch bowls, and 2 four inch bowls for my owl theme classroom.  I also like to think about common objects to help with size, so I took a picture of each size I made with an everyday object.  The Pepsi can is near the 4 inch bowl and the Starbucks are next to the five inch bowl.

 This is a great stashbusting project too.  It doesn't use a lot of fabric for the feature print, while the lining and solid panels do use up more fabric. 

This pattern is from acuppaandacatchup.com and is called fabric nesting bowls.

Secret Tote Bag Swap

I finished my bag for the secret tote bag swap.  I had started cutting it out almost a month ago.  Then, I had two surgeries which put me behind schedule.  I missread parts of the directions and miscut several pieces.  All in all, I know the bag is not perfect, and I like to be a perfectionist, but I decided this bag is pretty (hopefully my partner thinks so too), structually sound (I zig zagged a lot), and can hold lots of stuff.  The lining is the part that I dislike the most, and it just isn't as neat as I would have liked it to turn out.  I think my favorite part of this bag is the handles.  I love how sturdy they feel.
