oh yeah, you’re on wordpress

so basically i have the worst memory in the world. if for some reason anyone ever follows this blog, you’ll hear me say that a lot. i didn’t forget that i was on wordpress, i just keep forgetting to update/take pictures/upload. bah.

so i just joined the gym and of course, i decided i need a gym bag. for the last couple of days i have been racking my brain and searching all over the internet for a pattern that i liked that i could use. i’m still intimidated by zippers, so to keep stress low, i want to avoid adding the zipper.

this did present some sort of problem since most gym bags have zippers, i suppose. finally i’ve come up with something that i think i will be able to create/love. i’ve been dorking away all day at my desk sketching my gym bag. i’ve got a good idea of where i want to go, but i’m at work so i can’t play around with my fabric. oh well, just a couple more hours.

anyway, there are still a few projects that i haven’t posted yet. i did manage to remember to upload photos for one project that i did a while back. it was inspired by the business card holder that my boyfriend has that is leather. i’ve thought of getting one to keep my business cards in since i got them, but didn’t feel like going to staples and buying one.

so why not make my own?

ignore my business cards. the top stitching doesn’t go the entire way around because i bent my needle since the flannel got a little too thick for the needle i was using. it has three pockets inside. i actually measured the little business card holder my boyfriend has, and used it to draft a pattern. it wasn’t hard to make at all. i think it took me like 30 minutes or even less once i had all of the pieces cut out.

i didn’t use anything to keep it shut, but it doesn’t seem to matter. i also didn’t use interfacing, but something like this didn’t really seem to need it.

i have a couple of other projects that i have made in the past month that i just don’t have pictures of. maybe tonight i’ll remember to take and upload pictures so i can post them here.
