Project Brainstorm Sketchbook – Hanger Storage Bag & Casual Skirt

April 16, 2020April 15, 2020Leave a comment

I had a few more ideas for possible projects!

First, I am thinking of making a closet storage bag, one that could easily hang from a hanger. It would have an open window for easy access. It is very similar to a clothespin bag.

I am also thinking of making a casual skirt. My idea for this was a skirt that you could wear lounging around the house or on weekends. Just a simple flannel skirt with pockets. I can’t decide if I would prefer a drawstring or elastic waistband. I would definitely want comfort to be the priority.

Composition Book Cover with Zipper Pouch

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!

Composition Book Cover Testing

I decided to make the composition book cover first.

I tested my pattern several times looking for the best fit and arrangement. While my first plan was to just make the zipper pocket with the window, it was quite difficult in some respects and I wanted the project to be practical for sewers of all ability levels. As a result, I ended up making a pocket version as well.

I was quite pleased with how both turned out and hope to have tutorials available soon!
