Happy Leap Year Day! With the grey weather, like so many others, I didn't get as much sewing done as I would like :D I did get some nice finishes in, though :)
Lips pouch - tutorial is
here - I was just trying out the pattern and didn't bother to put the tab on the zipper ... which would have made the pouch look a lot nicer. Nothing wrong with the tutorial - the problem was ME :D Will do it properly next time, but this not-great finish will count as a new project for me (#6 in 52 in 16 :D), despite the fact that it isn't as nice as I hoped :D
Sorry about the pink background in this picture - I had to run out the door to go to a luncheon where the bag was The Gift, so I was in a hurry. It's just a simple denim bag, lined with some pretty royal blue fabric. It was sized to hold a specific
gift, which I hope the recipient likes!
Here are a couple of beaded
Retreat bags (without the frame). You can't really see the beading in the top bag - it's clear seed beads attached to each bra where the cups meet. Very low key :D
The orange one has more beading, but it's storming outside and I can't get a clear picture inside. These are both going into my gift box for Christmas - and it's only February! :)
Last, but not least because this one is my favourite of the finishes, a rocket zipper pouch :) This (purchased, NAYY) pattern is by
Filles a Maman :) The window is vinyl so the recipient will be able to see whatever it is he tucks inside ... which will be a $20 bill since this is a gift for a young lad :)
Posting to the Ho Ho Ho and On We Sew ... and New to Me linky parties for February :)
