Annie Fabric - Project 1 and 2

A few weeks ago Annie from the Petsjubilee team I am on, had some extra fabrics, and asked her team members if anyone wanted any. Here is the fabric.









I didn't see dog clothes with this, but I did almost immediately come up with an idea for this beautiful fabric. I told my friend Alice about my idea and she sent me a pattern for it. Although I ended up not using the pattern, choosing to make my own, the pattern showed the use of 2 fabrics and I immediatley thought of this great black corduroy with cherries fabric.


Based on the pictures below, I asked my other team members to guess what I was making.

Some went with dog clothes, some said totes and bags, even shoe bags and drapes.


The closest was Sue Ann who thought it was a cover for something. She guessed suit bag for a closet, couch or cushion covers...









I also had enough fabric for a 2nd project. That project also included 2 of these cards that I purchased from fellow team mate Eva. I knew when I purchased these cards that I wanted to use some of them for this purpose.







So...what did I make with Annie's fabric and Eva's cards? The answers lie here.
