Projects for the Festivals

I have been working hard getting some items ready for the Festivals. Also making some gifts for the grands. Here are some items I have been working on. The first pics are of some soap pouches. Just put your favourite soap in the bag and tie. Use the bag as your scrubber. It's made of 100% cotton and will not shrink. It really livens up the skin when used as a scrubbie. Wash in cold water to preserve the color.
Next, some dishclothes, also made from the same kind of thread. You will probably notice, I use a lot of this cotton thread, especially for my products that will be used and washed alot. These washcloths will lose some of their color because of the hot dishwater but they hold up very well and last forever.
I've been making these potholders for a while now. They are the best potholders I have ever used personally. All my customers swear by them. You can pick up a cast iron skillet right out of the oven and not even feel the heat. They are also made from the 100% cotton and are washable in cold water only. Many colors to chose from and if you don't see your color, just let me know and I will try my best to find a color of your choosing and make them for you.
These market totes are the bomb. They are great for the short trips to the market for a few items or for going all day to the flea and farmers markets. You carry them by hand or shoulder and if they get too much, you can carry them like a backpack. The one on the right end is still in process. Just wanted to show it, I think it will be my favourite. I love the colors. They are also made from the 100% cotton thread. It's very strong and lasts forever.
I'm working on some small purses for the grand-daughters and here are two of them and one unfinished one.
