Reading about Kojo's Spring DeStash inspired me to use some of my stash to make room for some lovely new spring fabrics.
I had some hot pink cotton left in my stash that was the perfect size to cut in half to make two 12x17 pieces. I cut the same size from the brown and white polka dot fabric I had leftover from the placemat project, stitched them wrong sides together, turned right-side out, top stitched the edges in hot pink, stitched up the sides to make a pocket (leaving a few inches for a flap,) added hot pink button holes and buttons, and voila! They are the perfect width for a skein of yarn.
Sure beats plastic grocery bags and now I can toss my project in a purse or tote without it unraveling.I might make a few longer ones to accommodate longer knitting needles too.
