Love you creations. The Doggie Poo Pouch is great in my charity bags I do for the rescue organizations that I do for my area.

You explain the projects so well. I just got five large totes of home dec fabric FREE. one tote is all minky fabric, I’ll have to learn to use that. One tote is all 9 inch squares. All other scraps are larger than these squares. And three totes of decent sized pieces. All designer fabric that was discontinued. So very pretty. All that to say, your projects are just what I need.

Thank you Christine- I absolutely love your videos and you are a superb teacher. I made one of these today and added a tab and lobster clasp but decided to add a snap fastener and so I omitted the elastic. It was a big mistake because in the end I couldn’t work out where to place the snap so as not to interfere with the cards inside. I also didn’t know at which stage to add it/them. I’d appreciate your expertise if you could advise on this. Thank you again from Somerset in the UK xx
