Batman Pouches

I was really trying to get a baby quilt done for this weekend but my Dad got into an accident. Luckily he is okay. We were very worried for a moment since he was on his motorcycle when it happened and was air lifted to the hospital. Scary stuff. Tomorrow my Dad goes in for surgery on his wrist/hand. We are so glad that all he came away with was a few broken bones.  Poor Daddy is all broken and it is his birthday today too. He was giving me a hard time since I did not have a quilt ready for him. I had made one for my mom for mothers day but she got it a few months early when she was in the hospital. She had broke her leg and had a partial hip replacement. Yes my parents are falling apart. Ugh.

Anyhow I was able to get the birthday present done earlier this week for this weekend plus a custom order. Little boys no matter their age need a little batman in their life, right?! I made some more striped pouches from this tutorial here. I figure this a great size for in diaper bags for small stuff..

And some toy leashes from this tutorial here.

Sorry that is all the sewing that has happened this week. It has been crazy. I am tired.

Striped Zipper Pouch

I found this pouch a while ago as I was mindlessly going through Pinterest and pinned it as a “I want to make that one day” project. The link brought me to Pink Stitches blog and her tutorial to make a Striped Zipper Pouch. 

I decided recently that I wanted to get my pay it forward gifts done before I need to pack and unpack then set up house. Who knows how long it will be before I sew again... fingers crossed not too long. Well it has to be sometime before Christmas that is for sure! So I went to my little sewing project board on Pinterest and picked this pouch to make.

Pouch number two for the week of pouches:

This pouch was a super quick sew! Simple and straight forward. It was bigger than I expected since I didn’t really look at the size beforehand. The measurements were approx. 8” deep, 10 “ wide at the tops and 8” wide at the bottom. The gussets were about 3” inches as well. I think that this size would be great for small knitting or crochet projects not that I do either. I can dream. One day I may possess that talent. I think that it could be used for all sorts of things though. Sewing, travelling, toys, etc.

btw I used cotton lining and cotton on the outside. I decided not to interface it like suggested I only used batting.

(I do not remember the name of this fabric line. I made an apron out of it for one of my sister in laws a year ago. It was the year of apron making for Christmas.)
