I am so excited to share my pictures of the pouch I made and received from the zippy pouch swap! I am happy with the results of the one I made. There is no pattern for it. I just made my front and back and then took tidbits from zipper tutorials and boxed bottoms....and this is what I came up with:
 |
| Yes, it's a bit blurry but I wanted to show the charm I put on the zipper! Some day I will figure out my camera! |
 |
| Nothing to exciting happening on the inside. But heck..it was my first big zippy! |
 |
| Those lovely hexagons are only 1/4" in size! |
 |
| My cute fairy! French knots and running stitches for a little embellishment! |
 |
And here is the whole pouch. In retrospect I would use a darker zipper. Not a big fan of the off white one now that I see it in the photo. Also in the picture are some journal covers I made. I did all these while at retreat.

The pouch that I received came to me from Ireland! Once I saw her embroidery I knew it just had to be for me! But she remained steadfast in the secrecy... I even told her it had to be mine! It had all of my favorite things...mushrooms, gnomes, hedgehogs and birds! I love that it is a wristlet too!
 |
| I got these wonderful scraps and a lovely note from Ms. Sarah along with my pouch! |
I have been so fortunate in all my swaps! I am participating in another pouch swap and just signed up the Retro flowers quilt-a-long!
As I have been asked to make up a pattern for the fairy pouch I will be making that up one of these days and sharing my tutorial for that... I am thinking by June... How fun will that be! I will be a little more diligent with this pouch and will write things down as I go so I can share the process with you.
In the meantime yard work awaits and so do those pesky dirty dishes in the sink! Crap, I hope I shut my water off. I think I started to fill the sink before I sat to write this post! Bahaahaahaa
