Mini plaid drawstring thing

Testing, testing - one-two-THREE

For a Sunday morning I've been busy!  Despite losing an hour of sleep/crafting time because of daylight savings, I have managed to sew my third test sample [yay!!] for the sample swap I'm participating in at the Fat Quarterly retreat in London in June. 

I've made a 'thing'.  I'm not sure what to call it so perhaps it will be called a 'Mini drawstring pouch'.


Here it is all closed/scrunched up.  Finally - an item photographed in daylight!



Here it is opened up.  I could put something small inside and close it up and use as a gift bag.



Here it is opened up and turned upside down so you can see what it looks like before scrunching. 
I bought the rock with the dragonfly at the Country Living Spring Fair on Thursday - so awesome!

If I decide to make four of these little things, I will need to go buy loads of ribbon as I do not have enough long bits in the house, or the right colours to suit the fabric I would make these in.  I do have a couple more tests/ideas to sew up THEN I will make a decision which I will reproduce into four yummy things to give to total strangers.  You can see test sample #1 here (folded flap button-closure bag) and test sample #2 here (shaggy denim potholders).  I wonder what the other 30 people will be sewing?  Lucky we are in groups of 5 so we only have to swap 4 items, otherwise I'd really be in a tizzy!

So that is that.  Better go finish changing all the clocks otherwise I will be all confused at what time it REALLY is!  Happy SUNNY Sunday :)
