This post is long overdue, but I wanted to get it in here… better late than never, right? I tested another pattern for Linds Handmade Designs in… ahem… May. 🫣 This is the Rayna Sling, and it’s called that because it’s kind of a combo of her Dayna Pack and Rae Dual Zip Crossbody bag, both of which I’ve made. It’s quite a small bag yet holds a lot. I love it!

Raw Edge Get Carded Wallet
If you’ve been following my blog long, you may remember I made a number of the Get Carded Wallets from the pattern by Dog Under My Desk. Here is a link to a few of them, and you can search the blog to find several more.
Erin decided to write a new pattern for basically the same wallet only using a non-fraying fabric such as cork or certain vinyls, so the edges can be left raw. This is my tester version of that new wallet. The outside has the clear vinyl window for a driver’s license or whatever.

This is the Heartfelt Haven Pouch by ChrisW Designs. It was fairly quick and easy to make, and the best part is that it was a free pattern! Who doesn’t love free?!

The Sunny Saver
Back in November, I did another pattern test for Linds Handmade Designs. (Yes, she’s a very prolific pattern writer!) She designed it as a case for those large sunglasses that don’t fit in just a regular glasses case, thus the name “Sunny Saver”.
This was a pretty quick and easy project to sew. I made my tester version out of waxed canvas for the exterior…
