Toting around An Irish Chain.

 I did not have a plan for this week's Challenge at Persimon Dreams Blog. I thought about it for a while and decided to sew this Nine Patch Tote Charise Creates. I have had this tote pattern for quite a long time, but have not sewn it. Totes are so useful.  I do believe the front resembles an Irish Chain.

For the back I chose this cute animals in the forest print.

And, of course, I had to add a "Happiness is Homemade" label. 

Now I have a cute and fun tote bag for my excursions.  Thanks to Kim and Trish for all of these challenges this year. I am happy to say that I have completed all of the challenges this year. 

Wicked Witch of the West Hat

 My "clothing" sewing is slim to none. I have sewn aprons for a Halloween costume and I do enjoy wearing them to pass out treats. I had purchased this witch hat pattern a while back so I decided that I would sew the hat for This week's wearables challenge.  

I used scraps from my previous Halloween aprons to piece the top. For the brim, I was able to use a fat quarter for the lining and I had just enough left-over scary cat fabric for the top. I did piece and quilt the top of hat. The brim is quilted, also. 

I am happy with how my witch hat came out. I will be looking forward to wearing it to pass out treats at Halloween.
