The New Year always inspires me to get organized, and getting organized has inspired me to create some pouches--after all, they are a great way to corral stuff!
As usual, I start out making something for myself, and instead end up stocking the shop--here are a few of the results...
It seems no matter how long I have been sewing, I still make the same silly mistakes. This time I sewed together a zipper pouch with one of the lining pieces reversed. It was too far along by the time I noticed, {although my compulsive tendencies urged me to rip it out anyway} and so I finished it as is. This is my misfit pouch...
...it's about 5" x 5" ~ a good size for a coin purse, but could have other uses I'm sure. I would like to give it away to someone who doesn't mind its imperfection, so if you would like it, just tell me so in Comments--I will send it out to the first taker.
I like the look of your oops pouch!
ReplyDeleteI think your mistake pouch is adorable! I would love to have it if you are giving it away! :)
ReplyDeleteAll the pouches you made are wonderful!!!! You are so talented! :)
OH...and you need to fix the link to your shop ;)
ReplyDeleteIt has www.blogger.com in front of it! :) xoxo
I guess I am too late! I love it though.
ReplyDeleteLove the mistake pouch. Love anything stripey and red.
ReplyDeleteI like things with little imperfections because they remind me of me! God sees all mine and still loves me.
ReplyDeleteI hope Katy is reminded of this each time she uses the pouch.
Thanks for the giveaway, Deb.

ReplyDeleteMy hands are veteran sewers, but occasionally my brain will skip a beat or two and.....voila......a silly mistake. A gentle reminder of our humanity/humility, eh? And isn't that what "handmade" is all about?

ReplyDeleteHi Deb,
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I just wanted to say thanks for posting about the no knead bread recipe, it's a favourite in our home, I bake a loaf once or twice a week. And the scone recipe is fabulous, I made it last night for dessert, yummy!
Cheers,
