Being crafty

My first post! I have been sewing a lot lately. I am not sure why, but I have found it fulfilling in ways that I can't describe. This is what I did yesterday.

It is for one of my young women. Her birthday is on Sunday:
 This one turned out more masculine that I wanted, so I realized it would be good for Marcus. I just closed it with velcro instead of a ribbon.
 The inside. (It looks weird, but it is straight on top.)
 This is what they are for.
 Marcus (and now Anneke wants one) can put their Faith in God books, a journal and plain paper.


This is the first day of gifts for my secret sister. A pillow and pajama bottoms. (Snickers not pictured.)
 3rd day of secret sister gifts. (The second day I didn't make anything.) Scripture case, 2 bean bags, journal, pens and gummy bears.
I am still working on the last day's gift. It is my favorite. I am worried that I put so much work into these and she won't like them. I guess that will be another post, huh? 


This morning I refurbished a shirt (I was going to give it to the DI) into a dress for Mallory. My friend Mindy helped me. It was super fun! Not bad for a couple of hours and free. Pictures later. (Not any before shots, unfortunately. I forgot.)
