Zakka Pouch...

I know I showed you this the other day, 

but I wanted to tell you a little more about it!


My pouch ended up a little larger 

than the original pattern.  

It called for half square rectangles but I didn't have 

the facilities to print the pattern....


So I started with 2" ones and adjusted the pattern 

from there...


I've had this leftover piece of Ikea fabric for years 

and it became the perfect lining!

 I interfaced the lining to make the pouch a little 

more sturdy.

I can see more of these in my future!

Linking up with Debbie....

Happy days!

Maybe it's just the angle, but those half squares look like half-rectanges and I love the look of that. Something new to make me think.

Love the IKEA fabric. I just finished up a tote and used fusible batting in the outside against the fabric and was not really pleased with how stiff it made the tote. In reading yours, I think that interfacing would have been a much better choice.

This is really very cute!

Love your pouch and though I love this book, I also have struggled to enlarge the patterns..... So annoying!

Very cute! The fabrics are great, and you did such a nice sewing job. Maybe you too are finding that sewing pouches is addictive?
