WIP Wednesday/Thursday - I Swear Stuff Is Getting Done

It just doesn't feel like I'm being very productive lately.  I'm going to blame the time change.  That sounds legit. And I'm not late on this post, I meant to delay it so you could fully enjoy yesterday's pattern release...yes, that was totally planned.

Guardians of the Galaxy quotes helped me keep laughing as I screwed up...

I decided to give boxy pouches ONE MORE TRY, and even used my good fabric in hopes it would finally work out...well, it's closer.  :|  this one is at least usable, but my goal was a rectangle that was 12"x6.5"x3"....instead I ended up with a square-ish that is 8"x5"x6.5"...so I nailed one measurement!  I don't even know where I'm messing up....I know I've made something similar in the past and it worked out, so I must be over complicating it.  I've been known to do that...

a nice shape, just not the one I wanted...

I need to stop wasting time and get back to orders, and I have some more fun strike-offs to play with!  I think this needs to become a tote bag....I'm running out of time so it will need to be a FAST tote!

Moonbeam preorder opening next month!  Still doing Studio Ghibli this month!

If anyone has some extra time they can loan me, or maybe a time turner necklace, it would be really handy right about now...
