    There are lots of projects I would make with the laminate. I would use it to make cosmetic bags with one being a travel holder for makeup brushes. I also would use it to make book covers. It would also be great to use to make a bag to hold thread and fabric scraps when sewing.

    Nice prints for laminates. I've never used laminates, but I think I'd like to try it on Geta Gramma's new double pouch pattern.

    I'd love to make a beautiful bag with these! Thanks for the chance to wind such wonderful fabric.
