Got my first project sewn with my new cork fabric.  A cosmetic pouch/clutch for a friend.  Love both the cork fabric, very easy to use and the Tula Pink fabric, only have a tiny bit of that left.......
 It is far from being perfect, but overall I am pleased with it, for my first try.
 One of the issues is that I put one set of pockets in upside down😳 I didn't realize until I had inserted the zip and top stitched it.  It's still functional with only the one set of pockets.
I used this tutorial and found it pretty easy to follow.
I am also doing the Square a month knit along afghan from the Holiday 2017 Edition of the Knit Simple Magazine.  This is January's square:
It's a Bales Pattern.  I am just using Patons Canadiana for the yarn, which is not what the original pattern calls for.  I am doing this more to practice different stitches and patterns.
So there you go my show and tell for this past week.  I did also make an Easter bib for a little baby girl.
I am a British born, living in Canada since May of 1989. My blog is about all aspects of my daily life.

I think it looks great and I’m sure it will be loved by its new owner
What a lovely lady you are xx
You're keeping quite busy!
Use the upside down pocket to keep a couple of bills in. Or put coins in a plastic bag, the little pill kind and store them in there--mad money. Put some stick on Velcro on the pockets if the hidey hole keeps letting things fall out.
One time, I was making a tshirt on a serger and put a sleeve in the neck hole! That had to be cut out.
I love the idea of a square a month you won't get fed up with it.
I think it's beautiful. Lovely fabric.
