You can never have too many lists

And, really, writing down what you have to do is nearly as good as actually doing it, right?

As you may recall, I have been hunting for and stocking up on vintage linens, aka nasty, used, thrift store sheets.

I made another List Taker from JCasa's pattern on etsy. And I pretty much stole the idea for this vintage squares one straight from her flickr page. Way to think for myself!



For the inside, I used the fancy top edge of one of the sheets to make the pocket. Cute, if I do say so myself!



That pocket is where I'll stash all the coupons that I won't remember to use.

Making a list, checking it twice

In a post earlier today, I mentioned a good project for using up scraps. It's this List Taker, a cute, quilted notepad and pen holder. It also has a pocket for coupons or whatever else you'd like to tote along.

I used leftover fabric pieces in black, white, gray and yellow, along with batting scraps and a button I once bought but never figured out what to do with. The only thing that cost me money in this project was the pattern, since everything else was leftovers.

The pattern can be bought on etsy at JCasa's shop.

I gave it to my mom for Mother's Day.
