La Grenouille ... or ... les grenouille? :)

 I have some bags of "sets" of scraps and pieces that go together - lots of them have been hanging around for a while, so I've been working on using them up, one bag at a time :D  This round was a collection of frog scraps/prints, which I paired with denim kids jeans from the thrift store (sale was $1/pair - a most excellent sale, to be sure!).  I got the last of the bags finished yesterday, and got some pictures outside today :)

Here are all 16 bags on my clothesline ...


and here they are tucked into a drawstring bag for "presentation" to the counselling center (all the bags are being donated).  I appliqued a batik frog onto muslin, and sized the bag fit all 15 zippies :D  Notice her beaded eyes - I think she's very cute :)  (free pattern here)



Here's the bag filled and tied ...









... a close-up of the applique - if you look closely you can see her lil topstitched mouth :)




I did 9 regular zipper bags, here ...





and here ...








and finally, here :)







They're all embellished a bit on the back with decorative stitching and cotton tags randomly chosen from stash, and stitched down :D





Last, but not least, the 7 earbud pouches :)



This concludes our visit with La Grenouille :D  Next up will be a visit with Ruffleless Duffle Bag #2 ... a Superhero version ... coming soon to a movie theater computer screen near you!  :)

  5. Wow, oh wow! When I got to Tx in December, 12 zippered pouches to take back east in spring made from scraps was my goal. I completed 3, prepped 3 more, gave the first 3 away, and haven't touched them since. I'd better get busy! I love making the ear bud pouches. I enlarged them to accommodate the wireless ear buds and they came out great! Keep up the good work! You know your efforts are well appreciated! XO
