It is time for Le Challenge! Yesterday I pull out those selvedges again. The theme is era. Those selvedges represents sewing era. Not mine since I got them from a friend :) If I messed up the theme, just blame it on language issue, lol. I'll play dummy and call it misunderstanding.
**update: Le Challenge is taking vacation so the link up for ERA theme will be on Sept 15 if anyone would like to join. I don't even have to play dummy, lol.
It is modified version of Open Wide Zippered pouch. The exterior is made out of one piece so there is no seam at the bottom.
Since I wanted to tick something of my FAL Q3 list as well I finished two more pouches.
You can see the exterior is in one piece as well. One is quilted with orange peels and the brown one is just simple straight lines.
This is my current fav pattern for pouches. This simple patchwork style is also great for scraps. There are 84 pcs of 2.5" squares.
It would be perfect for QAYG technique or FMQ practice panels. There are many options.
Linking up with Crazy mom quilts and TGIFF! ...
Those are gorgeous pouches! The link for le challenge isn't until 15th September though but you can link this post then :)
ReplyDeleteI do not save my selvages at all, so I am always amazed at how beautiful work with them turns out (although I see you got your selvages from a friend!). As always, lovely work and detail and you are the queen of coordinating zippers!
ReplyDeleteOooh love! Great idea for the selvages (I might need to do that for some gifts for sewists). I hoard selvages like you wouldn't believe.
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes and thanks for sharing. I will have to add a few of these open wide pouches on my to do list. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Pouches Vera! I have to start saving selvages again!
ReplyDeleteThese are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! Love the quilting, and great use of selvages! I made a selvage bag similar to that about a month ago for a swap...not sure how well it went over, but I figured what quilter wouldn't like it?!
ReplyDeleteYour pouches look fab! Congrats on finishing them :)
ReplyDeleteYour pouches are fantastic. Thanks for joining the party at TGIFF.
ReplyDeleteThe brown and red one is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThese are all 3 such fun! I love making pouches too.
ReplyDeleteLook at all those squares! ;)
ReplyDeleteI really need to start making pouches.
These are adorable. Love them!
ReplyDeletewonderful pouches!! I don't save my selvedges, but I might have to start after seeing your pouch!!
ReplyDeletewonderful pouches, and a great idea for selvedges. I am using some for a bee square to make a spiders web effect this month. I have not started my challenge yet, am thinking cushion again
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea for using selvedges. I have never saved mine, but they look so good I think I will have to start a collection.
ReplyDeleteLove all your pouches! My favorite is of course the selvage one!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to do something with selvedges... you've just inspired me! :)
ReplyDeleteI might have a few selvedges and squares to play with and make something similar!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea not to have the seam on the bottom :-)
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing the bottom of your pouches. I've been wanting to make some pouches out of one piece, not two, but for some reason, I wondered how it'd look with the corners boxed. I'm not sure why I hesitated - yours look perfect, and it shouldn't make any difference. Anyway, lovely pouches!!
ReplyDeleteThese are sensational. Thanks for the tips and photos. I actually think I might be able to make one.
ReplyDeleteGreat pouches! Love the selvedge one. I'm always saving selvedges in the hope of making something with them one day!
ReplyDeletedefinitely on my list to make, love these pouches
ReplyDeleteYou are my go-to sewist for pouchy inspiration! Thx for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteLove those!! Such a great interpretation of the theme, and thanks for linking up to le challenge.
ReplyDeleteGreat use for those selvedges!
