Today I have a hand-sewn little pouch to show you. I started with some plain cotton muslin and just had fun using various stencils and acrylic paint to add color and design. I stenciled the fuchsia flowers with a homemade stencil that I made using a flower die and my Big Shot die cutting machine. When the paint was dry I used this tutorial from Pink Polka Dot Creations to help me sew and assemble the bag itself. I always get nervous when a project involves a zipper. But these directions were very easy to follow and now I think, 'a zipper . . . no problem!' This little pouch measures 7.5" by 6.5" and is lined with a coordinating teal fabric.
My next sewing project . . . well I'm not sure what I will sew, but I have this adorable owl fabric that I really want to use. Any easy sewing patterns you might suggest for a backpack or bag of some sort?? Or maybe something that will help with organization??
Thanks for stopping by!
