Teal Thread in the Bobbin

I initially loaded the bobbin with teal thread because I decided I had no more excuses for not sewing incredibly belated birthday doll clothes for a friend (who ls Australian, so who knows how belated the stuff will end up being after whenever it is that I get everything finished once mailing time is added.)  No pictures of those, because they're supposed to be surprises, but then I did sew this for Etsy with the same thread

(It's not a thing like what's for my friend, who prefers Mod style for dolls.)

Then I said to myself that it would be a good time to finally sew something for the kiddo from either the Angry Birds print or the Skylanders print, both of which had blue/teal grounds.  He's not really interested in either game right now--his heart belongs to Terraria at the moment, with Minecraft and Lego Worlds getting sporadically remembered--so I figured it wouldn't bother him if I chose the fabric and the project.  s.o.t.a.k. handmade has been posting a lot of drawstring bags lately, so that inspired me to try a drawstring pouch.  I'm not sure if I've ever made a drawstring pouch before, and my results are pretty much what you'd expect from jumping in with no pattern and a reasonable-but-not-positive idea of how it would be constructed.

Skylanders it is.

It's large enough to hold all the figures (I scored a bakers dozen of them in a thrift store earlier this year...)    I did use a middle layer of a heavy twill to give it body, with a vaguely-cloud print (sky) for the drawstring casing and a continent print (land) inside (get it get it?)  And then I made another one that's not as structured and is lined with the kinda-cloud print (because I didn't have enough of the continent print left) to hold The Portal of Power.

I think I'll use the Angry Birds print to make a pouch to hold all of his Angry Birds figures and Telepods, and I think I know how to add a divider inside, which seems like a useful thing...
