I was searching for a project bag pattern for a friend of mine and stumbled across a Heather Bailey "New Leaf Folding Totes" pattern in my pattern box. I'm not really sure where it came from, if I purchased it at some point or got it as part of a gift/package/etc, but either way I'm glad I have it!
This pattern is really cool - a tote/grocery/project bag that folds up into a little wallet for easy storage and carrying in your purse while shopping. I also made a matching zipper pouch from the Noodlehead tutorial as I figured this would be a good sewing project and notion bag for her. Hopefully she will like it when I give it to her tomorrow!

Next on my project list is a bag pattern I am testing for a friend. I am still auditioning fabric while I wait for my supplies to arrive in the mail. I only have a couple weeks to get this beauty together and can't wait to share it with you later on when her pattern is ready!
Happy Sewing everyone! What are you working on this week?
