I know I showed you this the other day,
but I wanted to tell you a little more about it!
My pouch ended up a little larger
than the original pattern.
It called for half square rectangles but I didn't have
the facilities to print the pattern....
So I started with 2" ones and adjusted the pattern
from there...
I've had this leftover piece of Ikea fabric for years
and it became the perfect lining!
I interfaced the lining to make the pouch a little
I interfaced the lining to make the pouch a little
more sturdy.
I can see more of these in my future!
Linking up with Debbie....
Happy days!

This is pretty, I love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteVery cute project.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I feel zen just looking at it. Perfect antidote to Election Day madness!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous - great idea to interface the lining :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous pouch! It looks perfect for a weekend's worth of toiletries :D
ReplyDeleteIt's just darling! I wish I could come across that book in my travels
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThe turquoise on the top and the pink lining go really well together, stash fabric is awesome
ReplyDeleteLooks great Susan!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty pouch.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Bigger is better :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fun finish, although would have taken some time to make.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty fabrics.

ReplyDeletesuper cute. Way to improvise!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love your pouch!!!! I have this book with many projects marked....just need to find a little time ;-)
ReplyDeletea very nice pouch and that lining is perfect
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just the angle, but those half squares look like half-rectanges and I love the look of that. Something new to make me think.
ReplyDeleteLove the IKEA fabric. I just finished up a tote and used fusible batting in the outside against the fabric and was not really pleased with how stiff it made the tote. In reading yours, I think that interfacing would have been a much better choice.
This is really very cute!

Love your pouch and though I love this book, I also have struggled to enlarge the patterns..... So annoying!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! The fabrics are great, and you did such a nice sewing job. Maybe you too are finding that sewing pouches is addictive?
