A Little Silliness

Sometime ago, Cheryl, over in the Kingdom of Coco, and her faithful lady-in-waiting, Cassie, made a little tote bag from cat treat pouches.

The idea intrigued me, so I have been saving my pouches for awhile. The other day, I started playing with them.

First I cut the zipper closures off all the pouches and tried to make them all about the same size.

I discovered that there is no consistency among the makers of treats, so they aren't exactly the same size, but I think I can wing it.

I used a multiple zigzag, and joined 4 large pouches for the front.

Then I joined 4 for the back. If you look carefully at the lower right, you find that people treats come a similar bags to cat treats!

I zigzagged together the smaller bags in groups of 3 to make the sides and the tops. Then, I cut them to size to fit the front and back.

Clover Wonder Clips to the rescue again! I love these clips. I don't know how I ever got along before I had a package.

The bottom is stitched on, and the sides are clipped on. Somebody I know has already claimed this as a lunch bag, so I think I will need to bind the edges to strengthen it.

I need to check out my cat fabric to find something to use for the binding.
