It's raining cat and dog :D

Time for a puppet show!  Here are a couple of hand puppets I finished this week - Portland Puppy and Zoomer Kitty :)  The tutorial and patterns are from Larissa @ just another day in paradise - available here :)   She didn't provide JUST a cat and a dog - NO!  She provided an entire Old MacDonald series, including a horse, a cow, a cat, a duck, a chick, a dog, a lamb, a pig, and Old MacDonald himself - lots of fun!  I'm planning on making the entire series, but for now, I just wanted a couple of critters to send out for a little gifty :)  Thank you Larissa, for sharing this awesome project!

Cat and dog hand puppets - tutorial here :)

A couple of last finishes to post for March --- a tic tac toe zipper bag, which turned out very pretty, so is now residing in my gift box :)  Note the (faux) Mother of Pearl zipper pull I added for fun - I got several of these at Joanns in Florida a couple of years ago - it isn't a flimsy little bobble - it's a nice substantial (for it's size) piece - I'm quite glad I grabbed it :) 



Last up (oddly, Blogger won't let me left justify this paragraph - odd!) - a boxy bag to use up some fabric from a long-ago Joanns purchase - I had just enough to make 2 boxy bags once I added the black/white gingham (also from Joanns) zipper edge :D  The quilting runs in the same direction as the zipper - that was a brain fart on my part, because orienting the quilting in the other direction gives the bag better shape-keeping capabilities, lol.  Hopefully I'll remember to orient properly when I make the second bag :D



Happy birthday Allie -  I hope your day is filled with fun, family and cake ;)

  6. Thanks for the link to the puppets. Yours look great! The tic tack toe bag with the buttons is a brilliant idea and looks fabulous with the contrasting white zipper pull.

  7. Wow Sandra, these puppets are amazing and so great for a gift !! I love the tic tac toe zipper bag. It gives a lovely accent to the pouch ! Your boxy bags are wonderful as well. I tried to make some, a couple of years ago, but they weren't really 'boxy' so since, I stopped making them.

  8. Those puppets are fab! I'm looking forward to Old MacDonald and the rest of his farm :D And I love the new bags. I didn't realise the quilting direction would affect the bag shape. Thank you for that tip :)
