Project Pouch

Do you like making things for yourself, just now and then, using 'special' fabrics?

The outer of this project pouch is made from a fabric that I bought on my trip to Australia last year.  Isn't it pretty?

The inside fabric was one of a set of three that my DD2 bought me for Christmas - just my sort of colour!

I sewed in two clear vinyl pockets, but didn't add a zip as the original pattern suggested.  

I based what I was making on this free 'peek a boo pouch' pattern by Caroline Fairbanks-Critchfield.

In fact, I made several changes.  I adjusted the width (to fit my sashiko stencils), I changed where the gap for turning through was, I didn't add a snap closure.

Once it was made, I started filling it up.

It turns out that it can hold quite a lot, and still look neat!

Supplies and examples all stored together.  I pleased with it!

In fact, I was so pleased, that I went on and made two more as gifts.  Unfortunately I sent them off to DD2 and my BiL before I thought to take photos!

The main difference (apart from the fabrics that I used) was that I added a button and button hole as a closure.

Very satisfying small projects!
