Adding snaps to a tote bag - so it stays folded

We can also use snaps to keep a bag neatly folded while it's not in use.

The first thing to do is fold the bag so we can figure out where to put the snaps.  I'm sure there's more than one way to do this but for this particular bag, I folded the straps on one side of the bag, folded the bag into thirds, folded the top and bottom so they meet in the centre and then folded the whole thing in half.

Adding snaps to a tote bag - so it closes

I like to keep my card making supplies in this tote bag.  This way, I have everything together and ready to go when I need a quick and easy activity for Girl Guides or day camp.  As a storage solution, though, it's not ideal.  Sometimes the bag will fall over in my closet and the contents will spill out and, overall, it just looks a little untidy, especially with the straps hanging out.

Duvet Cover

Today (and yesterday) I made this duvet cover.  It's not really a two day project, but I tend to sew in spurts with many long intervals of doing other things.
