Here's the little flex frame pouch I made for my partner who gave me a great idea as to what she needed a pouch for, as well as specifying she likes bright, cheerful colours. Just so happens I won a mini charm pack of all the new Kona solid colours from Pink Chalk Fabrics recently - perfect!
side 1
I paired up the bright colours, drew a line diagonally and sewed 1/4" to each side, creating two triangle squares (seams pressed to one side). Then, I paired two of those right sides together (butting the seams) and drew a diagonal line perpendicular to the seams. Sewing 1/4" each side of that gives you two tiny little hourglass blocks. Cute!
side 2
I framed everything up with some black linen, inserted a flex frame and there you have it. If you would like to read a full tutorial on making a flex frame pouch, check out Leila's here or Ayumi's here. Both are excellent.
Wanna see the inside?
Seems my partner and I have something in common.....I wonder if hers barks as much as mine?
That is so cute, love that lining especially.
ReplyDeleteLove that wee pouch :o) That's no way to talk about your husbands though... ;o)
ReplyDeleteDo I see tiny dogs inside? Does she have a dog? A dog that needs quilted accessories?
ReplyDeleteSo pretty with all those bright little triangles!
Very sweet x
