I have a rather long and lovely past with the VW Bug. My parent's VW bug is the vehicle I used when I first learned to drive, and my husband and I purchased a VW Bug when we were newly married. My husband, my self and two boys like to play the "Slug Bug" game on road trips.
Poppie Cotton has a soon to be released fabric line "Hey Love Bug" designed by McKenzie Elston, and I jumped at the chance to sew up some new projects.
The first project is a Boxy Zipper Pouch with the cute new block I designed - "Slug Bug"!
The zipper pouch is designed for a 6" quilt block so I used my new design. Both patterns are available in my Etsy shop - Charise Creates.

Country Confetti fabric was used for the background and small pink dot.
I used Poppie Cotton's Seeing Spots fabric for the border on the hood.
I definitely "need" a pink VW Bug : )
The Slug Bug Pattern also includes an 8" block so I used my Free tote bag pattern and made an adorable Blue Slug Blug tote.
This 8" size block was fun to fussy cut too!
The back of the tote has a roomy pocket and I used the "Love It" print in color yellow.
The closure on the tote is a self fabric covered button - so adorable!

The back of the Boxy Zipper Pouch features the adorable "Love Bug" print.
