Floral Fun

Yesterday I attempted another project from Amy Butler's book. A simple little project, I thought. I was wrong, very wrong! I know it's seems hard to believe, but this simple little organizer was much harder to make than the seemingly complicated patchwork bag.

In theory it wasn't more complicated, but getting the measurements and seam allowances just perfect in order for everything to fit together nicely was my downfall. Then, of course, as everyone who's tried working with Timtex or anything remotely similar probably knows, it is really hard to work with. Especially when it's in the middle of a sandwich which has to be turned right side out through a tiny little opening.

Anyhow, enough whining already. It turned out fine, if a little more floppy than I'd have liked. It stores all the little loose things on my desk very nicely in one spot, but easily accessible, and it goes with the colors of my workroom (thanks to the lovely fabric I received from LeeAnn in the "Use what another person has" swap).
