More "discards" inspired by Denyse Schmidts's Quilts:
This set of them included a lot of vintage fabrics, and I found that I really liked the contrast of the modern style with those sweet vintage patterns.
One last 10-minute headband:
And, best of all, the pencil pouch that worked! (Bless you, Noodlehead.)
This last was a gift for a four-year-old. I used his own handwriting as the pattern for the embroidery, and included a pencil and a pen and a sketch book (of course, his mom is the one who really loves it, with that precious handwriting).
edited to add: I can't take credit for the pencil-pouch idea; that was from my brilliant friend Julie, who gave embroidered pencil pouches to her friends' children, using her daughter's handwriting and drawing. Shamelessly stolen!

Jasper's pencil bag turned out great! Just love the elephant fabric peeking out from the inside:)
Edited to add: I would love to say I had this brilliant idea but I shamelessly stole it from my friend Luisa!
