“A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.”

Pics of another Christmas make I haven't shared before or rather snapshots full of memories. I made 3 of these laminated wash bags as gifts for guys and don't you just love this masculine camera laminated fabric? It's Cameras by Michael Miller Fabrics.
Laminated inside and out - perfect for a quick wipe clean
and even a guy can use a pack of man tissues in his travel bag.
Not a total washout even if I say so myself.
Speaking of laminated wash bags and tissue covers, yesterday I taught a class of wonderful ladies at The City Quilter in Manhattan how to make laminated wash bags and tissue covers for themselves. All the ladies were new to sewing zippers, one of the ladies hadn't touched a sewing machine for over 20 years - since she was at school - and no-one had sewn with laminated fabric before.
Students chose to make any size bag, from wash bag to cosmetic bag or even a tiny lipstick/coin change bag - the technique's the same whatever the size and they got to take my detailed written instructions home with them.
It was a really fun day and I think everyone got over their fear of zippers and laminates.
By the end of the day here's what everyone had produced and it was wonderful to see how excited they all were with their handiwork and I was an incredibly proud teacher :D
Have you tried sewing with laminated fabrics, what have you made?
