Snow and a soap pocket
It's snowing at my house and I'm loving it!
Snowing like mad, it is!
In the interest of not buying things I can make for myself (which works out better sometimes than others) I made a soap pocket today.
It annoys me when the soap gets too small to use that there is no good way to take those little leftover bits and smoosh them into a larger, usable piece. My mom used to use the toe of a stocking and put them all in it but that is awfully scrubby and besides, I don't think I have any since I wear pantyhose only under threat of death.
So I cut a washcloth in two, added some bias tape in a colour to match the bathroom and voilá! A soap pocket. Shove the leftover bits in the top and use like a washcloth- hang to dry and the folded over bits at the top edge should keep the soap from coming back out. Since I have a second pocket to make (when it's warmer and I can spend more time in the sewing room) I may make it a bit smaller with a deeper fold in the top.
