1. Corner Bookmark – Sewing Projects for Gifts

Corner bookmarks are such a quick project that are useful and so fun! I love using these to mark my page – they’re soft and cute. Another bonus is that they only use a few scraps. Make a whole stack for your coworkers, classmates and friends!

2. 9-patch Zipper Pouch with a Patch!

This pouch has total quilt vibes with a 9-patch block on the front! And it’s a great project to use a patch for! The My Fabric Fix box has 4 patches (including this adorable double strawberry bow patch) that are ready to iron-on! This is so fun to make and also uses the bow zipper that also comes in the box!
