All wrapped up: Double Flap Pouch Tutorial Translation. The last few weeks have been pretty busy.
I've had two weeks of back to base teaching, basically all day lectures. After having a year and a half of clinical placement, it really makes me wonder how we managed to sit still all day during those first years of medical school. It was probably all the more painful because I'm enjoying women's health. I spent the last week before the back to base teaching with an infertility specialist, and it was equal measures amazing and awful because of some of the patient's stories. Women's health has reminded me why I wanted to do medicine in the first place, as cliche as it sounds. Everytime you start a new clinical rotation you always get asked what you want to do, and I always used to say I wanted to do O&G but I'd wait till I saw my first natural birth.
Anyways back to the craft. So before you start a few quick pointers: 2) I can't read Chinese so I wasn't too sure how to use the template. What you'll need Copies of the template. Happy Crafting!

Big Blue Tote. Mini Cosmetics Bag. As promised, here is the result of my new fabrics – a mini cosmetic bag!
Not only was I excited to actually make something out of my new fabrics, this project also gave me a chance to practice sewing with zippers (something I’ve never done before). I followed this tutorial, but made mine a bit smaller and more rectangular, rather than square shaped. It is always amazing to see how all the pieces (somehow) come together as you sew. Most importantly, I love the end product and think its completely adorable! That, and it was relaxing to be able to start my crazy, monster of a week with a little creativity.
