Can’t wait to see what our change in weather has inspired!!

I’ve been trying to finish some projects in my studio-

My dad has been gone for a few years now-what to do with his Korean War uniform…
No grandchildren wanted it for history reports. The historical society has plenty of them already.
So I tried the free Greenstyle Zipper Bag pattern
Found the perfect thread match
Cut out 11 assorted shaped bags and put in zips!!
Dad’s March birthday turned in to Easter and summer and finally they were finished at the end of July.
Printed on pants pocket lining
Chest pocket from uniform jacket
Made sure every bag had emblems or buttons
The bag straps were made from the wool uniform tie-all on the bias!
The poem I tucked inside each bag-written by my sister

What do you have hiding away that you can bring out in the open?

  1. What to say, other than the passing on of your dad’s uniform, & the poem, is truly amazing. Your gift to family members will be priceless & spark memories for yeas to come.
