Flaps!

Today I finished my Mouthy Stitches pouch!!

But as it was dark by the time I finished, you will just have to make do with a few in-progress 'flap shots' for tonight...




As you can see, I had a total about-face and plumped for a lime zip and lining, in reality far zingier than the photos.  Sorry partner, if you are looking in and had your heart set on one of the earlier choices, but going off at a total tangent is a Mama's prerogative, (well any maker's to be honest); I played for ages and these really did look the best, trust me.

I am hoping that when I wake up, to a beautiful crisp white vista tomorrow, I will be able to get some lovely bright pictures to show the purse off in full.  Should the snow, that is now gently falling, not come to much, I will attempt to do my best with a background of disappointed children and redundant sledges.

  7. Mine were out in the snow in the dark 'just in case it wasn't there in the morning'. The pouch looks sooooo good. Do you think I will ever get my linen order so I can make mine?

  10. love the lime zip and lining ... so zingy!

    snow is making a good attempt in my street ... so fingers crossed for white loveliness tomorrow (and it all to clear up by Monday so I don't have to careen down the steepest hill in Bton to work!)

    ... nice flaps ... *snort

  12. Ooooh looking pretty darn good! As someone that normally starts on a swap project the moment I get my partner I'm a tad behind - as in I've not even pulled out any fabrics. Better get my act together!

  20. This pouch looks supremely pro! Can't wait to see the whole shebang. Hope you get lots of snow...are you up yet on Sunday morning? Is it all white and magical?

  21. Beautiful! We've got up to inches of snow this morning instead of centimetres. The chickens won't come out of the coup and I think I'll take their lead today and hibernate in the sewing room and make a new bag for work.
