Happy Wednesday! I am a bit behind on sharing projects here, so over the next few weeks I'm going to try to get caught up on that. Today I have a few open wide zipper pouches to show you. I made these all last month, and in my defense one was a gift, so I had to wait until it was received!
I love making these pouches, it's such a great tutorial (by Anna), and they turn out so cute. I was in the mood for a few new knitting project bags and I knew my friend Jacey could get use from one for knitting too!
I made my pair of pouches using some prints from Geometric Bliss. I knew I wanted to use the mobius stripe in a different way, and this pouch was the perfect size for it. The little bud print was perfect for the inside, and I used the same print for the end tab as an accent.
For the second pouch I used the coral poppy print, which is one of my favorites from the collection. This pouch is a bit more bold, with the tessellate print for the lining and tab.
For Jacey's pouch I knew I wanted to use this coral print from Meadow by Leah Duncan. I paired it with some linen scraps to do a contrast bottom. From there I pulled the blue lining and yellow zipper from the colors in the print.
All of these pouches are the medium size. I used Pellon SF-101 to interface them, and the zippers are from Zipit.
I always enjoy making these pouches, they come together super quick and function great. I'm sure there are more in my future!
love them, and I wanna squish them. :) the coral poppy print from geometric bliss is one of my faves, too. I keep looking at it on my shelf and hoping to do something great with it. :)
ReplyDeleteYour pouches are supper cute. Coral print (from Meadow by Leah Duncan) is my favorite. I love interior and exterior combinations :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic pouches! I just made my first one two days ago. I love it - and my Mom, who get this for birthday, too. They are also extra elegant with leather.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Rike
They look great!! I'm always looking for good project bags!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out great! I love making these as well and they come together pretty easy! Thanks for the reference on Zipit! LOVING that place! I want to buy all things zipper now!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done. Beautiful colors too.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy comment disappeared, so hopefully i'm not inadvertently posting twice! I love my wide mouth zipper pouch you made me - I use it all the time! Right now i'm using the drawstring pouch you made me a few years ago to hold the hat i'm knitting Brice. EVERY time I pull it out to work on it, I think of you and all the handmade bags you've made me over the years. Almost all of the ones I use were made by you for me. One of my very favorites (well, they are all my favorites) is the little patchwork one you made me first. I see it pop up on Pinterest all the time and I think how lucky I am to own it. :)
ReplyDeleteSweet pouches!
ReplyDeleteThese are just the cutest!! Love the fabrics you chose! Definitely on my list to do!:)
ReplyDeleteThe tutorial doesn't mention interfacing, so I wanted to see if you fuse the whole backside of the outer fabric or just inside the seam allowance? Thanks,
ReplyDeleteI did the entire backside of the outer fabric!
