Sustainability Pouch Challenge
Design and make something useful from your scraps. Sounds like a challenge that is perfect for me, and my Yr 8 students.

This is a foundation paper-pieced block of the month pattern from Sassafras Lane Designs. I haven’ started it yet but plan to do to start it soon – once I’ve chosen the fabric 🙂
