It is crazy addicting. I started up a group on Facebook in hopes to start selling some things. i'm trying to concentrate on healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables. Ive used some templates from internet sites and etsy to make *some* foods, but mostly I just try and figure them out on my own...I'm not really good with patterns, I tend to cheat on them..Sometimes I use the templates, and throw the instructions away, ha ha!!<br />

<br />
well, here are some pictures (I plan on taking some better pics soon, these were taken with my phone)<br />

<br />
I had some left over Gortex fabric...and used a thick plastic bag for the game holders...I did buy a zipper but I can't say I didn't try and find one around here I could use or take out of an old jacket, sweater etc....<br />
<br />
I wish I would have written everything down..but I guess I 'll just have to make another one and write down measurements and steps.<br />
<br />
This one needs a bit of improving...the zipper I bought was a tad too short! so it needed a bit of hand stitching so that the edges didn't have big holes.<br />
either way though, it's cute and works :)<br />
