Today, I made another one of the pleated pouches. I decided to see what it would be like if it had batting in it, since I didn't have any interfacing to try.
I also added a 'ledge', as Georgia Bonesteel used to call it, an inserted piece between the two main pattern pieces, just for accent. I like how it came out.

I was 'talking' to a fellow blogging friend who was thinking about making tissue holders, so I thought I'd try to make a matching kleenex pouch, too. The pattern, which was posted by the same blogger as the pleated pouch, was simple, and, once again, I added batting.
While digging through my sewing room, I ran across some special penguin printed kleenex that I think Jodie Ann had sent me at some point, so I made a matching, snowy kleenex holder for them too.
I realized yesterday, while wrapping T.J. and Zoe's hats for shipping, that I hadn't shared a photo of hers since I had finished it. They went off in today's mail, and just in time for some really cold air, I think.
Note to JoAnn and Wanda.....the date for that awaited evaluation has finally been set, so perhaps things will start moving along again. Praise the LORD, we have the holidays !
