The first is a clothespin bag I designed for my dear friend, Shari. She is faithful to hang all of her laundry outside, even in the winter. (Mine go straight in the dryer or hang inside.) I admire my friend. Shari loves the bag. I put it on a pants clothes hanger. It easily slides along the line with Shari.
I also included this birthday card with coordinating fabric from the clothespin bag's apron. Making my own cards is something I am beginning to do more and more. It seems to add a personal touch. Sewing on cardstock paper is easy too. I used my darning foot, lowered the feed dogs and simply sewed around the flower and then did the stem and leaves (2 minutes tops) and wrote my message inside.
