This composition book was a lot of fun! It was a challenge to construct, but I think it turned out great!
It is a bit more difficult than the pocket cover as you have to work with vinyl, a zipper, and several more pieces. That said, the result was worth it!

Once I started making tons of face masks I decided it would be nice to have something to carry them in.
They also make great gifts if you are planning to give face masks to others!
This case is super cute and small enough to fit on a key chain.
I made two different versions, one lined and one without lining.
I also used several different closures – velcro, snaps, key rings, swivel hooks, and D-rings.
I hope you have as much fun making these as I did.

With supplies and resources scarce, and with traveling to stores discouraged, I wanted to make a face mask that required as few specialty supplies as possible.
I decided to make a face mask with ties instead. The ties can be made with 1.25 inches (by width of fabric) strip of cotton fabric. It also only has a single tie in the back for easier wear.
Thanks to my mom and her fabulous testing of face masks, she gave me dimensions for face masks of multiple sizes.
I hope you enjoy the pattern and the tutorial!
Here is the free pattern!

OVERVIEW
With the fabric I had left over from the Toilet Paper Drawstring bag, I wanted to make another little project. A gift card pouch seemed perfect!
I had enough fabric to make the pouch in two sizes.
The smaller pouch is perfect for gift cards, and the larger pouch can hold items that are a little longer.
They are super easy to make, 1/10 on the difficulty scale. They don’t take much fabric, they’re very fast, and make great gifts!

I made two videos for this project. The first include detailed instructions and explanations for each step.
The second is a quick overview if you already know the basics 🙂
As I was contemplating what my next sewing project would be, I couldn’t help thinking about what is on everyone’s minds at present. Toilet paper.
Yes, it is a rare and precious commodity nowadays. So! What to do…
Well, if you feel the need to travel with your toilet paper so you are prepared for those “just in case” moments, here is a little drawstring bag that is perfect to carry it!
Of course, you don’t need to use your drawstring bag to tote around your toilet paper, it can carry a whole lot of different things, but the toilet paper sure fits nice!
This is a great little project to practice sewing curved pieces to straight pieces. It doesn’t take a lot of fabric and it is quick.
Take a look at my video to see how to make it!

Here is the pattern for the circular base:
This project is fairly simple. You should be comfortable pressing, sewing curves, and working with small seam allowances. Difficulty 2/10.
If you love English Paper Piecing, or are just starting out with the craft, here is a quick easy project to enjoy!
Visit my EPP page to learn how to make the hexagons and join them together.
JoAnn just sent out a request for Surgical Masks! What a great way to help!
Here is a link to their video tutorial.
Their video is great, but a large portion of it is creating the pattern. Don’t feel like drawing it out yourself or don’t have a nice grid ruler?
Here is a PDF version of their pattern.
As soon as my hexagons were complete I was eager to start creating!
Here is how you join the hexagons together.
This week I went back to exploring English Paper Piecing. It amazes me some of the beautiful things that quilters can create with this method, and I am eager to learn more.
I am starting with the basics. Hexagons!
Here is a quick video on how to get started and some hexagon templates!
