Ten from one does go

My 'Can I make ten different things from one shrunken jumper?' challenge continued all day Sunday.  I had already made the bag, and actually, I had also made this to go inside the bag...

...a little pouch for money. 

Though not a very secure one!

  

I tried to create a firm closure with stuff I had squirrelled away in my sewing room (the shops were closed by the time I was making it, and anyway I was trying to be thrifty) namely a length of thin ribbon, a vintage button and a little bell.  It works up to a point, but the bulkiness of the felted fabric means it won't close tight. 

Anyway, if it was going to go inside the bag, at least the tinkle of the little bell would alert you to the inevitable - a pickpocket was half-inching your purse! 

So that made three, and Sunday morning saw me racking my brain to think of other possibilities.  I hadn't  quite exhausted my 'Elves and Shoemaker' mood (hoping, as I was, that maybe some new clothes would magically appear if I carried on...) and I had another idea from 'Pinterest'.

Whipping up a quick pattern of my own, I managed to stitch this little Chri  er, seasonal decoration in next to no time...

What next?

Well, with my tacky (ie. sticky) coaster still annoying me...

(though I have seen a suggestion that a quick go with spray varnish may sort the problem)

I thought I would make a different sort of coaster.

Two circles from the sleeves...

A freehand  snowflake embroidered in Cotton Pearl...

...and a bit of blanket-stitching...

...and a non-tacky coaster was mine!

Half-way there, and I still had plenty of fabric left, and more importantly, ideas.  More later in the week.
