Handmade Accessories

I had been working on a few coordinating pieces for a birthday present for my amazing sister in law, but couldn't post them until she opened them.  She opened them this morning, so I can finally post pics!  I sure hope she likes them!  And a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my great sister in law Kaitlyn!
First I made a gathered zipper pouch with a large rosette.  I got the tutorial for this pouch from Noodlehead.
Here's a shot of the inside:
I also made a checkbook cover with a ruffled accent (Wanna make one of your own? See my tutorial here).
And here's an inside shot:

Here's the wallet (for a tutorial on how to make this see here):

And a shot of the inside.  This was my first attempt at using the zig zag stitch, as you can tell I need some practice.

I also made some rosette bobby pins (if you want to see the tutorial to make them see here).
