One of the things about being a swap mama is that if things go wrong you need to make an item for one of the participants if by chance circumstances prevent their partner from doing so. Now I am not sure about whether or not I will be needing to post this out, but just in case I have made another pouch.
 |
Some grey linen (thanks, Hadley)
and a mix of text prints, greens and yellows. |
 |
| A bit of hand stitching. |
 |
| My zip ends are improving. |
 |
| And a split pocket inside. |
I made this yesterday and surprised myself with what I could accomplish if I actually just got on with it. Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Because if this is what I can do under pressure, just imagine how much I could get made if I just pulled my finger out more often. Scary!

It's a beauty - and your Mama matching skills are second to none!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely pouch Susan, super colours. I know what you mean about actually doing stuff, sometimes I seem to spend so much time thinking and not doing..............
ReplyDeleteGreat pouch and always nice to have a back up
ReplyDeleteFantastic job! Great (!) zip end!!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Susan, love the sunny yellow against the linen.
ReplyDeletelove the grey and the yellows together. If you don't ever need to send it out,I will happily take it off your hands :-) I would never have thought about having to make a 'just in case'.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty indeed, love the little cross stitches :-) I received zips the other day, just working up the courage to try and use them!
ReplyDeleteGood call! DId you just find a tutorial online to make that pouch? I'm sure I could figure it out since it's not boxy... that totally threw me off with my pouch!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Susan - I really love it. You do all take your SM responsibilities seriously! Take a big breath...and I hope you get to keep it too. x
ReplyDeleteGood going mama x

ReplyDeleteAh I thought that was what you were up to!! It is gorgeous! The sun shining in a grey sky
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful pouch. I hope you don't have to send it.
ReplyDeleteI work better under pressure, unfortunately. If there's no deadline I waste so much time.
I love yellow and grey together, so elegant! Well done on a fab 'whip up'! Jxo
ReplyDeletegorgeous pouch and zip ends perfect !!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about it - the colours, the fabrics, the hand stitching and the perfect zip ends. Whoever gets it will be very happy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love those little squares and the yellow, green and grey works so well - great combo!! How do you put the section bit on the inside?
ReplyDeleteLovely, perfect zip ends and great stitching. Have already got mine (which I love) so sadly won't be needing this!
ReplyDeleteThat's so adorable I'd probably be wishing my gift didn't turn up just so I could get my hands on it !
ReplyDeleteGreat job (and congrats on being such a fab swap Mamma)
I love it! Hope you get to keep it!! Know what you mean about thinking about doing rather than doing - it might be my specialist subject!!
ReplyDeleteNoice fabrics used! That's quite a range there... I'd love to see your stash lol
