Various Nintendo Crocheted Pouches

Blargh, I can't recall whether or not I've already posted these. They are crocheted pouches with miscellaneous Nintendo characters stitched on from felt. All of them were unfinished on the insides and have been setting around for ages.

This morning I FINALLY got around to lining one of them and putting on a button closure. It's good for a book, I think. I'm pleased, because after reading the manual to my sewing machine, I, at long last, now grasp the concept of free-arm sewing, which will make lining these puppies infinitely easier.

Here's an old pic of the lot. The clefairy didn't turn out as well as I wanted. Darn you complicated pokemon!

This tiny boo one is my very favorite, though. I think I'll have to do a velcro closure on it, though. Make a coin purse or something. Well, he's a good size for a couple of credit cards. Remind me to sew on a loop for a key chain or caribbeaner (did I spell that wrong? of course, but I like this spelling; It is more tropical)

Stampy Felt Leaf Envelope

Last night, I could NOT fall asleep. I've been feeling generally cruddy for the last what 18 hours or so, and I became grumpy. Having the idea for this leafy envelope churning around in my cranium was too much to handle, so I proceeded to sew this till about 1 AM. Basically, it's a felt envelope with multiple velcro stamps! It's for my niece. She loves the velcro "stickers."

Then I had to make this for some reason. It's another little quilted sheet of notebook paper from cotton fabric & colored threads. Bah, I went to bed and then woke up again around 4ish with a desperate need for tylenol. Hopefully, I will sleep better tonight.
