What Do You Take To Your Crops

I am up at a crop in Dixon with some friends that have been getting together for a long time.  I love getting together and working on projects.  I always have a hard time trying to figure out what to take with me.  Luckily we are in the room next to It's all about the Scrapbook so I can purchase things that I need, but it is still tough to prepare.   Our Crop is from Tuesday through Saturday!
This time my Cricut Academy Classes are at the end of this crop, so that means that I have to bring everything that I need for my classes as well.
My car was all loaded and ready to go.  I didn't want to rush packing and forget something.  I think I brought it all (literally).
I decided to bring some of the projects that I have been wanting to finish up.  8 Shirts that I need to cut out some Iron-On Vinyl for for a family that is going on a cruise.  They wanted everyone to have the same shirts for the photo getting onto the ship.

8 Shirts done 
Next on my to get done list was:
Little Black bags that my Sister-In-Law got a motor-home rally for a great deal.  I used some Anna Griffith patterned Iron-On vinyl that I had and cut out Hers to put on the bags.  I love how they turned out.  I had know idea what I was going to put on them so I was glad that I had stuck the 2 patterned sheets and one of the Gold Glitter sheets in my bag and it was the perfect amount.
Awhile back I had put His and Hers above my towels in our bathroom and I loved how that turned out.  So I decided to use the same hers.  You can see them all cut out and weeded.  I was able to get 4 Hers out of each sheet so I had one left over to use again.

They were nylon and Cricut does not recommend doing Iron-On on it.  So I lowered the heat on my Easy Press to 295° for 15 seconds.  I placed my Teflon sheet inside the bag hoping that would work and it did (Lucky Me).  I did a cool peel

Here they all are.  Plain simple bags into fabulous

Andrea from It's All About the Scrapbook came to my table with 3 packages that were new in the store.  One of them was Felt from Sizzix in pastel colors.  I told her to put them on my tab.  LOL!  I immediately new I wanted to make a wreath with Felt flowers.  So I searched for Wreath in the ready to make projects on Cricut Design Space and customized it.

Zipper bags made from Placemats

Today I made a couple of zipper bags using a YouTube tutorial from Lorrie Nunemaker you can see it here
Here are 2 of the 3 bags I made today.  These were so easy and fun to make!  Fast too.  They are made for The Pioneer Woman's Placemat. The bottom one fit my Surface Pro perfectly.  That was a happy accident.
I have been wanting to make a pouch for my computer and now I have a cute one.  Lucky Me.  Usually, I give away what I make but this one is mine.
The video is at the bottom of this post!

You can see how perfect it fits.  I can even get my charger in the pouch too!  Like I said I am a Lucky girl!  

Here are all 3 bags.  I love them all.  How about you?  Give them a try you won't regret it, in fact, you might really like them.

--------UPDATE---------

I ended up putting vinyl on the back of the bag that I will be using to put my Surface Pro in.  I saw a video that Melody Lane did so I used her file that she shared and created this.
I bought the new Cricut patterned Iron-on vinyl.  I love this  I have the Cricut Easy Press  the settings I used were 340° for 50 sec (yes 50).  Give it a try and see for yourself.

-----------------------Another Update-----------------------------

I just was packing and wanted to take my Canon Selphy printer with me and I had my placemat bag I had just made sitting right there.  I popped it in and the paper cassette along with the charger and guess what!  It fits like a glove well actually I have room for my 2x3 cassette and paper for each.  Another Happy Accident.  I will have to put some Cricut Iron-on so I know whats inside.

Well, I guess I will have to make more of these since I was originally was going to give them all to my grandkids to use for themselves.  LOL!!!!!

What did you put in your bags???

Here is the video.
