Yoga mat (2/25 in 2012)

My next project was another that arose from necessity.  I have a yoga mat that I want to start using for a class that my work is offering, but I had no way to carry it.  I did, however, have tons of fabric.  So I made this yoga mat bag.  The pattern is mine, and chock full of errors, but it serves it purpose.  At least the next time I make one, I will know what NOT to do.

TARDIS inspired wallet (1/25 in 2012)

I started off my new crafting mind-set with something I was in dire need of-- a wallet.  I had been looking for a wallet that I like that also suited my age for ages now, but I never found one I liked.  Then, I came across this tutorial (which is crazy easy to follow) by Modest Maven.  I was inspired.  I decided to take one of my favorite shows (Doctor Who) and translate it into a wallet without being obvious.  The result is this:

This is the first time that I undertook something more complicated in construction that just sewing a couple pieces of fabric together.  And, I know it's not perfect, but I am intensely proud of it.  And I LOVE using it!
