OOAK

This might well be the only one. I had such a hard time sewing the PU leather snap onto the Japanese laminate. Surely there must be an easier way to attach it but I've yet to figure out. Maybe it'll be easier with the canvas laminate. I'll try that soon.
Fourteen pockets here made out of dark chocolate cotton-linen blend and bound with oatmeal of the same material. I like how the colours go together for a cheery and functional card wallet.

Have a blessed day!

Fusion

These are twin totes made from Northcott laminate. I like laminates 'cos of it's waterproof feature but they're not easy to handle. I can't pin 'cos there'll be holes and this fabric doesn't feed well into the sewing machine. It's rather stiff as a fabric and turning it inside out is a challenge. I still like laminates though.

Have a blessed day!

Plasticky

Bought a stack of plasticky canvas recently. Sure reminds me of Cath Kidston material, in terms of print and feel. It's the thickest material I've sewn. Not the toughest though. That would be faux leather 'cos it wouldn't cooperate with my sewing machine's presser foot and feeder dogs.
I've not quite thought of what I want to make with these yet but made this to try out sewing it. It's so stiff that it's tough to flip proper side out. On the upside, it holds its shape very well. :-)
Simplest item to make was an unlined pencil case. Added a label to the front and a charm to the zipper pull.

Have a blessed day!
