I have to admit I actually haven't quite finished this project. I was planning on making it this week, but found out late last week that I'd gotten a new job and I started yesterday (goodbye sewing days!). (I'm working in a laboratory again for the first time in about 10 years, so I'm feeling a bit brain fried today!) I'm not sure I'll get a chance to finish it any time soon either - Miss 4 snaffled it pretty quickly. In any case, I only need to stitch the bottom together, so it won't take long when I can steal it back ;o)
The pattern does provide instructions for fitting bolts in the box so you can use it to store bobbins and such, but I decided to make it for my daughter as she needs something to keep her hair-ties and ribbons in. Hence the unicorns and snails - it was really nice to use some of my Far Far Away fabrics at last! I'll be making myself one to store hexies in as well - it's a fun little project to make, and there is a lot of hand stitching involved so it's a good couch-based project (which is what I need right now!!)
There will be lots more Bob Bag examples over the next week or so (links below), so please check them out.

Super cute! Congratulations on your new job :) xx
wow, congrats on your new job Jess. What type of lab do you work in? I used to work in a lab 11 years ago too, I cannot imagine my brain being able to shift back into gear for that again, so lots of admiration for you xx

Congrats on the new job! Make sure you give yourself lots of time to recharge! (I know the beginning of the school year wipes me out every time.) Your box is adorable...and making me think of adding to my Quarter 2 FAL list.
Super cute! Love the choice of fabrics, now I really want one.
Congratulations on the new job, very exciting! (In my mind I'm imagining you working in some kind of comic book villain type lab where you're performing experiments to try and take over the world!) Such a great version of the Bob! The unicorn was the perfect size for that placement. Love it! Thank you so much for being a part of the bob-a-long! <3
It's a cute box and congratulations on your new job doing science again!
I hope you love your new job.
Hope you're enjoying your new job Jess. Your little bob bag is just so cute!
Congrats on the new job. And great idea re: a bob box for hair ties. I find them all over the house (except when I need one for me and then they are nowhere to be found!)
Congrats on your new job. I am confident you will still find some time to stitch.
Oh I have to make one now! That is the cutest one!!
Jess, I also have a request, Rebecca sent me to you, I believe you have a bernina machine and I need the dimensions for it bc I want to surprise my friend with a sewn cover and cannot find the dimensions anywhere! Would you be able to help me out? I would greatly appreciate it.
