I didn&#8217;t have time for that this year, so I am gathering cash and gift cards. I needed something to hold cards and gifts and the 2-in-1 cases are the thing. They are useful for sewing supplies, but also the right size for cards and gift cards. I am gathering quite a hoard, so I hope they are large enough.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy also means I do not have to cajole people into making large bags or small gift items. I was prepared to make all of these 2-in-1 cases, but a few people volunteered. I was very grateful for the others efforts. I am making one, as you see.<\/p>\n<p>I had to take a break for some seam ripping on the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2023\/11\/thinking-about-pockets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kit Supply Tote<\/a> and do some handwork on the other bags I worked on over the weekend. That meant I was able to start sewing this bag. I cut it out at Sew Day earlier this month. It is going together much more quickly than the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2023\/03\/2-in-1-case-completed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first ones<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60823\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60823\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231112_124750_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-60823\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231112_124750_wm-sm-300x296.jpg\" alt=\"2-in-1 Case #4 magnetic snap\" width=\"300\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231112_124750_wm-sm-300x296.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231112_124750_wm-sm.jpg 769w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60823\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2-in-1 Case #4 magnetic snap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the things I did was try a magnetic snap, which is recommended in the pattern. These are different than the other snaps, installed with a Snap Setter, that I used before.<\/p>\n<p>Except for being quite large, I think the magnetic snap came out pretty well. The instructions in the book for installing it were a little vague, but I used some pliers to bend the arms of the snap down. That worked for me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided that 2-in-1 Cases would be great to use for the gifts going to the guild officers.
