Birthday Gift - Done

I made my mum a birthday present today. I went with a Noodlehead Open Wide Zipper Pouch because I love this pattern and it is my go to one for pouches these days. I kept it simple, mostly because I had all sorts of ideas but then realised the only zip I had of an appropriate length was in a rather uninteresting shade of blue and did not go with any of my original fabric pulls. Strange but true, but I chose the fabric to match the zip.

I've got a new photo spot besides the trampoline!
I then got lots of little things to fill the pouch, and proceeded to do so.


I stuffed it to its gunnels. These pouches sure can hold a lot. I was kind of hoping that the chocolate wouldn't fit!

    Great present, I'm going to have to learn to make pouches because that is fabulous when stuffed. You can really personalize it.

    Sweet. I have not made that particular pattern yet but it looks like it would be great for stuffing.

    That's my favorite pouch pattern too - which I think I originally discovered from your one of your blog posts. How fun to get a beautiful pouch and then open it to find lots of goodies all individually wrapped! I'm sure your mom will love it!

    Are you really trying to tell us that not a single one of those choccies passed your lips? If you are then you're a liar! Beautiful thoughtful gift btw x
