Odds and ends and bats and sharks :D

Using up the last bits of fabric pouches - these Halloween pouches measure 8"w x 7.5"t.  They're lined with black TOT, and feature bat zipper pulls (!!), bat buttons as an embellishment, and quilted fronts with bonus curved quilting for fun :D  IIDSSM, I did a nice job!
A bunch of small zipper bag finishes - all will go to Blue Hills :)
A shark gift I completed in September.  Shark pillowcase (fabric here), pencil box, cookie cutter, stickers, stuffy (pattern originally bought here, but I don't see it listed in her store now), 3D applique zipper bag, reading book :)   I'm linking to my sources where I can in case anyone else wants to do a shark gifty - these are NOT affiliate links - NAYY!!!!  This gift set has been posted to the Ho Ho Ho and On We Sew linky party :D

Here's a close-up of the 3 items I made for the gift :D
Two winter notebook covers :)

The shark Christmas gift was given to the recipient's Nonna and Nonno earlier this week, so they'll deliver it in person this weekend, and mom can hide it until Christmas :)  It feels good to have it done and sent early, and it feels even better that I didn't have to pay Canada Post $20 to mail it!  That's $20 I can spend on fabric instead, LOL!

  5. what a fab gift! Let's just hope the little recipient hasn't seen Jaws so doesn't have a fear of sharks! it's wonderful all the stuff you make for Blue Hills, but also very sad as the amount of zippies you make must mean there are a lot of people passing through the shelter (though I'm sure your gifts bring them a ray of sunshine, it's a shame they need to be there in the first place)

  6. What a great shark themed gift. It's defintiely a great idea to organise early for Christmas when it helps avoid the postage - I do the same too.

  7. I love these shark makes, and what a great idea to have a collection like that all around one theme. Perfect for a boy, or girl, with a particular obsession.
