That new sewing machine of mine has gotten quite the workout. My original intent was to use up some of my fabric stash to make a few Christmas gifts. It's gone way beyond that though. Here's a bit of what I've done.
First there was the second attempt at the fabric basket. I followed a different tutorial this time and it went together much easier.
Then I did Ginny's idea of pretty side out on the zipper pouches.
From there I added little coin purses, more pretty fabric zipper bags and more key fobs. It's grown into quite a collection. Here is everything I've done so far spread out on my ancient and sad ironing board..
Tope right are 2 complete sets which includes a small and large zipper pouch, one coin purse and one key fob. There is also another complete set that I finished after I took this picture.
There are also 9 key fobs, 8 coin purses and 7 of the zipper pouches with various sayings on them.
I'm obsessed and can't stop.

Your creations are perfect Ann.
I think, since you like it,
you should focus exclusively on it.
But you need to find a way to sell them,
maybe on Amazon!!
I wish you good luck.
If any reader knows a way to inform us.
Of course, all this if you are interested in doing it..
They are all just gorgeous! And will make wonderful Christmas and Birthday gifts for a long time to come.
they are really good and cute and the plus is, fun for you to make and its also brain exercise and something you can sell or use as gifts.. I am thinking Presley would love a basket with grass, and a set of each of these with a chocolate bunny for Easter...
You could try Etsy for selling them. They are so pretty.
Do you have an Etsy shop? I like the basket and flowery key fob chain and zippered bags! Such cute ideas!

I'm so glad you are having so much fun and what a great way to do it. I love everything. Well done my friend.
Brilliant! I love how much fun you're having. Never thought of my own key gain fob thingamajig. Also brilliant.
Ann don't stop I think you have found your NEW calling.
Are there shops in your area who take consignment crafts?
You could sale them without a doubt quicker than you could make them.
I see several I would buy...if you are selling
Hugs Cecilia
You're so talented, Ann. I wish I had half the craftiness that you have.
Have a fabulous day and week. A big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥
Being a lover of color, I am delighted with the pretty sides out pouches, too! These are all wonderful and, I agree, you could absolutely sell them.
But if you like to give things away as you mentioned before...you could leave them in places around town with a little free sign attached to them. Maybe with a note even--saying pay it forward if you can or have a beautiful day or some such...or just "free" with a smile. Places people come by often--like the library, grocery store, restaurant, gas station, movie theater...wherever. Leave them near the entryway. But inside so they don't get wet, of course. Just an idea. I've heard of people putting painted rocks everywhere--of course they can go outside in the rain or snow--lol! In most of the apartment buildings I have ever lived in people put things out with a free sign by the entryways and they are gone in a flash. I have even put out handmade cards with envelopes and baby spider plants in yogurt containers--lol!
Anyways, they are really pretty, Ann! Kudos! :)
I love your Obsession...
Fantastic creations. You have Christmas and a bunch of other occasions all taken care of. the colorful pouches really add pazazz to the purses.

That basket came out really cute. Pouches are really nice. Wow, coin purses and key fobs. You are so talented. Way to go!
Hurray for creative "obsessions". They are a real blessing in this crazy world.
These are terrific, Ann! That floral fabric is gorgeous. You are ready for a craft market :)
Can you say CHRISTMAS? lol BIRTHDAYS?
I think they are beautiful. I love the floral too.
Can you find a craft show?
I love these Ann, you have such a wonderful selection of pretty patterns and combination of colors. Great job on all of them!
Wow everything is lovely!! I really need to get learning how to sew and put my machine to use.. I have it sitting here next to me on a table. I'm think I'm kind of afraid, fearing I won't be able to do it.
These are great! I have to leave but want to expand the photos when I get back! You have been busy!
You are good at sewing...did you ever think about selling these on Etsy?
WOW! You have been busy!
