Scrappy Pouch

So, I've been on a kick with Christmas gifts lately. I've finished a couple of gifts over the weekend but not sure if I want to make another one for my oldest sister (who will hurt me if I don't), so I can't show them in fear of my safety. I can show you this little guy though. I love making pouches......I love having pouches. 

 

I used the tutorial from Noodlehead for her Wide Open Pouch. This tutorial is officially my FAVORITE pouch tutorial. I had a little fun and made it scrappy. Her instructions and pictures were so clear....like crystal clear. I really like her zipper method and how the pouch is lined. It looks so polished.

And, if you've never tried a zipper before this is the perfect little project to try.  You'll be most pleased.

The middle focus fabric, I ripped out of a antique quilt.....I actually prefer the word saved. The quilt was patchwork and hideous with this apricot solid all over. So, I seam ripped the squares that I liked and scrapped the rest. The other solids are various Konas, I already had in my stash. 

 

I'm hoping to make a few more......ok, truth be told, Elise and I went fabric shopping today and I picked up a fat quarter of Field Study that I am super stoked about. That will be my pouch for sure. I'll share my loot tomorrow.
