I made a not quite Wide Open pouch today. It was supposed to be completely wide open but I failed to put the zip facing in the right direction when I installed it.
When the pouch is open the zip pull is supposed to be at the other end of the pouch. But you know what? I do not care. Because it still opens up plenty wide and I really like the fabric pull I did for this.
Things like this usually upset me but obviously someone is slipping something in my chocolate here because I am so not bothered.
This is one of a number of small makes I need to make in a short time frame so I have set myself the goal of seven small makes in seven days. One down, six to go.
Also, a quick reminder, if you were interested in winning the sewing machine cover and accessories I made for the last issue of Love Patchwork & Quilting the give away is still open and can be found here.

Love the pouch and the stitching! Hey it works ;)
ReplyDeleteThat little pouch is just about too cute
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely pouch and at least you can say it's different from all the other wide open pouches!
ReplyDeleteI have a question and I didn't want to ask on the giveaway post, how is the quilting on the sewing machine cover different than matchstick quilting? I'm not sure I understand matchstick quilting. Can you help?
ReplyDeleteGlad you explained what was wrong with it, it looked fine to me lol Loving the other recent makes, and especially Sunday's first name filled post :oD
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said! Looks great! And lovely stitchy detail! Jxo
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful !
ReplyDeleteAre you sure about that? Wouldn't it make more sense to have it the way you installed it? To hold the fabric pull and open the zip? My DF always says that I don't things the opposite way. Sorry, but that's how my brain works!
ReplyDeleteHey...lovely finish regardless! Who would have noticed??
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI always tell my classes that there are different levels of perfection!
ReplyDeleteI also love the fabrics you used.
Perfection is really so overrated, it used to worry me that my sewing wasn't perfect but now I think that most people wouldn't even notice the things that I do.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't work out the problem with the zip on IG but now I see what you mean. Hey Sh1t happens. It's still a lovely lovely pouch.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Your pouch is beautiful and wide! Isn't it the same wide how ever the zipper is? I haven't dare to make 'wide open' pouch but I guess i should. Your fabric choise is perfect and I love the embroidery! x Teje
ReplyDeleteIt definitely still works!
ReplyDeleteEither way, I LOVE it! Thanks hon, that's so kind of you - and thanks for the tea & scone & natter too... next time it's my treat. See you on Thurs for tea with Pat ;-)

That bag is so cute .. don't think I would have noticed anything if you hadn't mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteWait until you see the title of the post I scheduled for tomorrow. I swear we are sisters sharing one brain.
ReplyDeleteI've never made a zippered bag or pouch. I would sooooo put zips in upside down or back to front.
