Blair and I ran several errands yesterday, and when we got home I was in the mood to sew. I pulled out a large remnant I purchased a while ago and the leftovers of an old sheet and got to work. I made a new knitting bag, and new notions bag, and two cases for my dpn's. I actually still have two cases left to do for my circular needles, but it was getting late, and I was tired.
The only one I used a pattern for was the square bag. I pulled the pattern from Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross (which I've loved on here before). The pattern was simple to follow, but a little more time consuming than I really wanted last night. It turned out really nicely, however.
The knitting bag was made with the extra fabric that was leftover from the other items I cut out last night. I just took two rectangles and stitched them together and added handles. It worked well, though, because the square notions bag I made fits perfectly inside it.
These are the needles cases I made. I just folded the fabric into thirds, added a lining, and stitched pockets at the bottom. The circular needle cases I'm going to stitch will look very similar to these. Now, without measuring anything, I managed to make these to just the right size to fit perfectly inside my notions bag. How cool is that?!

Wow, I love that fabric! I'm really impressed with your sewing skills, sweetie! You know how to stretch a yard [or more] of material...GOOD GIRL!
That's great! Love that first bag with the zipper. Still want to get that book. The library doesn't have it. Can't wait until my knee gets better so I can comfortably get back to my machines.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
