Over the past year, I’ve been obsessed with bags and bicycle hats.  The small zippered pouches were especially fun because they present an interesting spatial challenge (how to complete with a zipper and lining inside out to flip right side out through a small hole in the lining).  I finally learned how to use the serger my mother in law Karen gave to me (totally easy…don’t know why I let it scare me) to properly finish the cap portion of my hats.  I used muslin to cheaply prototype my hat pattern.  The last item at the bottom is a knitting bag I made for my mom last Christmas.
