I fell into this!

and the only way I figure I found it was because I follow their posts on Instagram.  Fabric Editions is the leader in pre-cut fabrics!  Need a fat quarter, they are the people!

Storage pods!  I use them to store my 6" ruler, my small rotary cutter and a tiny mat for when I'm up and down the stairs.  Here's the link for them.  It is a free pattern and you just download the PDF.

These are made up for the children we give to at Christmas.  I have one more to make for a young boy, and I will pick up the fabric Tuesday when I'm down in that area.  It's space fabric!!  This is so cool!  I found the perfect book at Indigo to go with it.  
I know it's a good book, because Leah read it to me!!
Each pod will hold a bottle of bubble bath and a new face cloth.  You fold the cloths and the bottle sits inside that.  The children can then use the pods for what ever they like.  (the bottle shown I grabbed from Karl's shower)

I love the forest fabric, but it's all gone now!!  I have a bit of the cat fabric left and no idea what I will do with it.  Give me time.  I hope to come up with something.

Now how did I fold that cloth?  I Googled fancy ways to fold them and then decided to keep it simple.  Of course, now that I've gone back to find it to post, I can't find it.  So here you go.....
                                                             
  1. Lay your face cloth out flat.
2.  Fold one side over 1/3 of the way
3.  Fold over the other 1/3
4.  I flipped my cloth over so the "fancy" part showed.  Not necessary

5.  Fold up the bottom section 1/3 of the way
6.  Scrunch the top end of the other side and tuck it in the bottom.  Then wiggle it a bit to make it lie flat and neat 
7.  Now this could be a pocket for some "fancy" things, like soap bombs, a razor, whatever an adult would like

BUT these are going to children, so I'm buying bubble bath in a bottle.  (please ignore my water bottle)
8.  It works out beautifully.  I'm hoping to buy face cloths the same colours as the pods.  Boy I hope my local store can help me out.

9.  The view from the top!!
















My very best wishes for 2023.
