Small Hand Bag and Thread Catcher

I saw a video about bags with double sided fabric.  I wanted another small bag that I can wear crossed over my body.  I made one this spring break.  The blue zipper is the front and the back (which will be against my body) is the other side.  That side has a zipped pocket.  The front has a pocked that doesn't zip.  I also put a pocked like this inside with a pen holder.  The strap is adjustable with D rings, but can be up to about 50".


This is what the other side looks like.  Its paisley and looks great for a lining.  I may make a passport holder out of the same fabric.  This pic is before I sewed it all together.  I do have to confess that this bag took me awhile, making sure the pockets were right and I didn't sew them shut.  Also, since the fabric is already quilted and finished, the inside shows the outside stitches but that's no biggie.  I couldn't hide stitches between the fabrics.



This is a thread catcher I made before starting my Spring Break projects.  The tomato comes off with velcro.  The basket part stays open because I cut a disposable plastic container top (like from sour cream or something).  The top part stays under the right 2 feet of my machine.  The tomato is very handy right by my machine and I like that it's removable when I do my pinning away from my machine.
