\"BAM<\/a>
BAM 2020 Retreat Mega Pinnie – finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Periodically, I revisit the gifts I make for people. I know you have seen the posts about gifts I have made for my sister<\/a>, my mom<\/a>, Gerre<\/a> and Julie<\/a>. I really do like to give gifts that people will use, though I do give gifts, like the Mega Pinnie<\/a> that are just fun and unique.<\/p>\n

My Mom is staying with me while she recovers from major surgery.<\/p>\n

She has brought along several bags and pouches I have made for her, such as the Take a Stand<\/a>, the Poolside Tote<\/a>, and the Percheron<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Take a Stand has art supplies in it. She is using the Poolside Tote like a suitcase for random stuff and the Percheron is where she keeps the complicated crochet project I gave her as a kit gift.<\/p>\n

Mom’s Persimmon Pouch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Still, it is not enough. I will need to make her a pouch for her hand quilting supplies. Right now they are in a plastic zipper bag. I know I made her a Persimmon Dumpling and an Inside Outside Pouch<\/a>, but she didn’t bring either with her.<\/p>\n

A Sew Together Bag is the obvious choice. She has one<\/a> and I don’t want to make another right now. I am thinking about another Cotton Candy<\/a> pouch. I am also thinking about a Brumby pouch<\/a>. I haven’t made one of those yet, but recently received the templates as a gift. We will see. I want to look through my various patterns and see what sticks out.<\/p>\n

What pouch or bag do you use for hand sewing supplies and tools?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
