I recently got commissioned from a very good, long time friend to use my sewing skills to help make her a set of bags filled with silicon beads used to absorb sweat and funk from the insides of her Roller Derby pads and things.
I gladly took this project on and am finding that my corners, turning, and top stitching are all improving as I get through every set.
I've gotten good enough that i have confidence enough in them to offer them up for sale even.
A set will be comprised of 4 bags 4" x 4" made of clothing grade cotton in different prints.
Fabric is cut 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" with a 1/4" seam allowance on each sideI left a small hole on one side so as to fill. I will sew up the hole by machine when done.
I cannot wait to get these in the hands of someone who will love looking at these as much as I do and getting my hands on some funky new fabrics and making more! next up is tote bags large enough to fit roller gear in and sweat rags to match everything.
How cute are these houndstooth and mustache print Funk Fighters?!?!
I just listed them as available for sale in my Etsy shop

I really look forward to getting more involved with my sewing and hopefully turning this into something that i can help build my family's future on. I really love to be be crafty and hope it's something i can pass on to my children
