One-Yard Wonders - Not-Ugly Car Trash Bag

One Yard Wonder – Car Trash Bag

I love fabric. Sometimes I buy a bit of fabric just because I love the way it looks and not because it is meant for a project. This little habit of mine leaves me in a precarious position of too much fabric, no plans and no space. What hardship! LOL

So way back when the book “One Yard Wonder” came out, I had to get it in my hands. Maybe it would help me get inspired to use these “little” pieces of fabric. I bookmarked quite a few projects and placed it on my “soon-to-do” project bookshelf. Well, somehow I forgot about it. Well, that’s until I saw a few projects from this book on other blogs and I realized that I had that book somewhere…

Well, I looked at the projects that I bookmarked and realized that I just don’t want to make them at the moment. However, there was one project – the car trash bag – that I could use desperately. You see, I have this “problem” in my car. No, it’s not trash but it is accumulated mail. We don’t have a regular mailbox over here. We have a post office box on post from which we pick up our mail. Unfortunately that also means that I don’t toss or file our mail right away. It’s been known to live on in my car, get married and have lots of babies ;-)

This project is super fast. It took me about 20 minutes from start to finish. I didn’t have a parachute buckle on hand so I used Velcro which works just as well.

I am so hoping that this bag is going to help me stay organized…

Take care,

Me

P.S. P looked at the trash bag picture in the book and pointed out that they used our dog Jake as a prop. I never even noticed until she pointed it out!

Here is the picture in the book

And here is our 10 month old baby Jake...
