Pouches

I sewed in zippers again! Practice makes perfect right?!

First, I used the Noodlehead gathered clutch tutorial by Anna. I have always wanted to make it and I needed some sew therapy after dealing with my sick with a cold cutting her molars two year old. So I took on the task and only broke one needle, oops.

When I received the scraps from the swap I joined there was a little bit of Tula Pink Parisville Topiary print. I have always liked this print even though it has little mice running though it, lol. And there was enough for the front band and the back! My awesome sewing buddy Brie had given me the green Sprout print from Parisville which I love!!!!! I am saving some it for a future project but cut away everything but a FQ leaving me the perfect amount for the front of this pouch. Score!

I love this pouch, it is so pretty plus it is useful! My rotary cutter and snips now make it their home!

Next I made a simple little tiny pouch to keep my clover clips. I only have ten that someone snuck into my sewing stash, she must love me or something! Yes I am spoiled. I used the Neat ‘n’ Tidy Zippered Pouch tutorial found on the dog under my desk blog by Erin. This pouch was done within minutes. So quick and easy. I had the perfect scrap of a field study print it is Migratory Lace in Seaweed  by Anna Maria Horner, I love it, again from my swap package! The pouch is perfect for my binding clips.

I think that I am becoming a little less afraid of zippers well at least for pouches.

Linking to finish it up friday

Friendship Quilt Blog Hop

When I came across the friendship quilt blog hop I was excited. I had never really followed a blog hop or made a project for one but I thought I could do this. I wanted to make a project for both of my best friends because they both are special to me and could use a pick me up but unfortunately I was only able to get one of my projects done since my dear Grandma passed away.

I made this pouch for Rebekah. She is in the middle one in the picture. Her favourite color is pink and mine is green so it kind of was a good mixture of the two of us. I recently got the Hexa go go book so I have been experimenting with hexagons. I went and found some pink and greens in my scraps. I made 35 1/2 inch hexagons and sewed them in a pink/green friendship bracelet pattern. I used the noodle head pouch tutorial but only sewed the corners at 2.5 inches.

 

I love how it turned out and I am pretty sure she will love it too! It will be her birthday present since her b-day is coming up soon. Through thick and thin we will always be friends :)
