Chapstick Keychain

I've been struggling with what to do with my leftover scraps from longarm projects, and saw this idea on TikTok and had to try it! It was very simple and I was able to make 5 with the bit of fabric I had left over from a project, and then 5 more from another. So cute! 

Key Ring

 I found a simple pattern for a sewn key ring so I thought I would try it to use up some of my scraps. I already had the metal pieces necessary, so it was just a matter of stitching the fabric together. Easy Peasy. 

Random Summer Projects

 I've been playing with my new sublimation printer and made these keyrings with canvas ribbon and a picture I took of some flowers from our trip to Ireland a few years ago. I'm still learning and experimenting with technique, and although the printer has been a dream, my Cricut heat press gave out on me the same day I got my printer, and I purchased a bigger heat press from Amazon and it didn't work. It took me nearly a month to get a replacement and by then I've been busy with other things. Having tools not work takes all the fun out of projects for sure! 

I saw these bookmarks on TikTok and wanted to try them out. 

More sublimation. Here are some luggage tags, including a picture of my cute little Elsie Mae. 

Here are some zipper pouches I made with leftover fabric. I just can't get the hang of them for some reason. I don't know if it's because I'm not great at the math, or if I'm just a perfectionist who can't let things go, but I feel like every couple of months I come back to these and I just can't do them right. 

A few more things I made. This bag ended up being way bigger than I thought it would be. First, and probably last, of its kind.
