Halloween Project Bag Sewing Frenzy

Up until quite recently, my toddler girl has been surprisingly indifferent to my knitting or crochet projects lying around the house. But now all of a sudden she grows more and more interested in the squishyness of yarn balls... Which means I can't let my projects lie around openly any more. I need project bags - with zippers! Now, I have made a few of those in the past, but I've never kept a single one for myself.

My favourite pattern for zippered pouches is the Open Wide Zippered Pouch. I found some halloween themed fabrics in my stash - leftovers from last year's halloween swap sewing - and took full advantage of the size chart. I made two bags of each size... in just two days (well... evenings)!

Now I just have to keep them hidden from the 5-year-old... she loves bags of all shapes and sizes, and I bet she would just love to get her hands on the one with the little ghosts on it - because it's glow-in-the-dark! But hey... I've got plenty of that fabric left - she will get one too... eventually.

I just hope the little one will take her time to find out how those zippers work...
