I finally went through 3 large boxes of fabric which have been in storage for awhile now. I kept everything that interested me, and sent the rest off to a friend. One of the items I kept was an unfinished vintage apron in the blue pattern above. The seamstress added bright yellow bias trim to the neck opening, but both arm openings were still unfinished and I didn't have any matching yellow binding to finish off the apron.
Since I loved the pattern so much, I cut it up and made a lined zippered case. I had an alfalfa seed on the shelf, so I cut a bird out of the word, "hardy", explaining the seed's reliability and attached it to the front of the case.
The lining consists of a plain seed sack:
The case is large enough to carry in a pocketbook and fill with either cosmetics, or as I have, an iPhone, some crochet needles and a pair of glasses:
I added two layers of thick sew-in interfacing to give the case some body. I rather like the outcome:
