I still have lots to have a go at but for now I've been adding the finishing touches to the Upcycled Denim Pocket bag with Sashiko-Inspired Stitching.
I wanted to make the bag up so I can use it for popping my phone in when I am out walking.
I added a zip for a more secure main pocket. I used the crotch seam for the strap which I find quite amusing.
The only gingham I had was just a printed one and far too small for the stitching really.
Glad I have the 2nd table so I can leave it out a while for other projects.
One for a neighbours daughter and one for my son in his new flat.
However I have now realised I could cover my tin with it so it needs to be longer now - LOL, with tapered ends.
I only made it as I found the sheet whilst looking for something else!
The scraps were the stamping tests fropm the cards I made the other week, wrapping tissue and words I had kept as special.
My photos came but the quality wasn't great I called Photobox and they have given me a voucher to get them reprinted. Might just get my next lot with that although it is only valid for 2 months. Hmmm.
Still coughing - although did manage the drive to visit son in his new flat on Sunday.

I enjoy seeing your fabric projects, you have some great ideas! The sashiko bag and needle case are both really lovely, clever you. I’m glad you were well enough to visit your son’s new place xx

Wow, wow, wow. I love the pocket bag, so cute, and great decorative stitching on it. The snippet roll is also amazing. I've done paper ones, but boy I love the look of the fabric ones. I feel like it could make a cute lap quilt (or blanket/rug for my Poppy to sit on) sewn together in strips. She would love playing with all the free floating ends LOL! Glad to see a bit of papercrafting too :) Sad about the photos, but at least you got the voucher!
Happy mad-dash WOYWW!

I thought have I already commented, because I have seen these before! Then I realized I had seen them on FBook🤣. Fabulous projects, particularly your bag with the stunning stitching! Great journal pages. Hugs Angela #10
I saw these on Facebook too and you have done a great job. Very useful bag, love the needle case and the little birds. Wishing you a happy woyww. Hugs Angela x11x
Sorry you’re still coughing, I find thyme- based Bronchostop pastilles helpful, as are the Bumblezest Ginger, turmeric and CBD shots, when my asthma’s bad. (https://b-zest.co.uk/shop/health-shots/ginger-and-turmeric-shot/). You’ve been very busy this week and I love your sashiko bag , your mini album and the cute little birds.
Happy WOYWW

That snippet roll is quite the project! You have been very busy, every thing looks lovely! I really like the little phone purse, perfect! I hope you feel better soon, 🍂❤️Lindart #14
Wow, BJ you are busy all those projects. The needle case is exquisite, reminds me of a hard sewn I made in 3rd class at school 😂😂😂
Paper work creation is well done too. Such diversity and no Christmas in sight. That's all I'm doing at moment as sending overseas in next week. Did first lot today's mail our Friday.
Happy belated WOYWW, Shaz in Oz.x

Good morning, BJ
What is this with son's and their new abode's. You're the second one who's had a son find his own nest. LOL
Love all the stitching. That bag looks very useful.
for now my needles are in a brag album. I have thought about a fabric album. We shall see. Thanks for inspiring.
Creative Blessings! ~ Kelly #15
Wow! You are a very prolific seamstress. Your bag is very pretty, and those little birds are so cute.
