Fox Zipper Pouch

Everyone loves foxes, right? How could you not love this fabric then... foxes and owls in a fall theme. I bought this fabric not even being sure what to do with it. Then, I realized I needed to make a journaling pouch! I always wish I had my journaling stuff with me when I stumble upon quaint little places or even randomly visit coffee shops.

This pouch fits perfectly in my purse and keeps everything in one place so that I don't have pens and glue sticks flying out when I am paying for things (ok, well to be honest the pen thing will still happen cause I love pens)! I modified the fold over clutch DIY to accommodate different measurements. It measures 7.5x11(finished) and fits all the things.

Do you ever journal in public?

Sewn: Floral and Vinyl

I came across this floral tapestry fabric (I call it granny fabric) in the clearance bin and I just wanted to make bags out of it... so I did! I made a new pouch for my Kindle, a large fold over clutch, a medium cross body purse and a mini fold over pouch. Making these has helped me become more comfortable with my zipper foot, interfacing and topstitching.

It was fun to play around and not worry about how it would turn out. Now that I am so comfortable with my zipper foot, I just want to make pouches for everything! I also want to be better about making time for 'just for fun' projects.

What have you been creating just for the fun of it lately?
