A few January finishes:

| "Use up scraps and extra ribbon" zippies ;) |

| Orange and pink zipper pouch |

| A close-up of the cute bird zipper pull :) |
My first new project of the year - a TRIA Coin Purse - pattern from AppleGreen Cottage on Craftsy.com - link to pattern
here :) It's a very simple pattern, but it's very small, and my fiddly arthritic fingers struggled with it. It finished to 5" wide X 4.5" tall - I posed it with a can of
nectar of the gods Diet Dr. Pepper to show that it's rather itty bitty :D I totally forgot to install the little tab that it's supposed to have - I even MADE the tab, but forgot to stitch it on - oops! I won't make another one that small - I upsized the pattern by 25% to make it easier for me to work on, and will try it out. The problem was not the pattern - it's rated for Intermediate sewers and that's very accurate. The problem is mine, but I think it'll be a very easy fix, so I give it 2 thumbs up :) No raw edges - YAY - and she designed the pattern so that the lining fits perfectly into the outside without bunching and scrunching - I like that Damjana went the extra mile to give us a pattern for such a nicely finished bag :)

well done Sandra such lovely work,you have given me inspiration to try one,thankyou.
ReplyDeleteThat little birdie zipper pull is adorable. You must have quite a collection. Great finishes. Love the grey zippies especially, and Damjana's little coin purse is super cute.
ReplyDeleteLining that fits! If only every pattern was like that Sandra, I hate it when the lining is all bunched up inside a pouch.
ReplyDeleteCute birdie pull too.
Lovely pouches and I love the little bird :)
ReplyDeleteLove that little gold birdie! Also, the Tria is a cute little thing. That would be a great stocking stuffer, Once again, you have done sooooo much! I am always impressed. Still working on the hard quilting here. I will be so glad to get it finished. All future projects will be machine quilted!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see your little zipper pulls, I get so aggravated with myself for never remembering to cute my pouches up this way!
