I used Anna-Noodlehead's Open-Wide zipper method, and boxed the corners so the finished pouch measures up at c.11" square, scraping in under the 12" limit.
This is my first time in the PLPS. I thought I might find it intimidating, but it's actually been fine, maybe because I am familiar with a lot of the swappers and I opted for the Intermediate, rather then the tempting Advanced level, maybe because I have come a long way in the last year or so and am getting confident in my ability. Either way, I loved the quick turnaround, got given a super easy-going partner and can't wait to see what is coming my way.
I just have to wrap it all up nicely and pop it in the mail this week. I am hoping my partner is as pleased with it, as I am with how it turned out. Time will tell.
Of course she will be pleased, it is fabulous! Glad you had a fun, low-stress swap!
ReplyDeleteHadley - it's darling! She'll love it. How could she not? But if you're really worried, you can send it to me instead. :-)
ReplyDeleteI will love it, I already do *fingers crossing it is me, but could i be that lucky??* : )
ReplyDeleteIt looks great - I hope I get it! (I would definitely classify it as advanced, btw.)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What's not to love?!
ReplyDeleteIt's super lovely H - love the simple back, which is in contrast to the beautifully pieced front.
ReplyDeleteYour partner will be thrilled to get this pouch!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, love the fussy cutting and placing of the scissors.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteAs always, beautiful, lovely little bits of fussy cutting. Your partner will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteIf not, I am in the queue...
Fabulous pouch, love those scissors
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I really like that block. I may need to make a couple of my own for something.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Lovely design.
ReplyDeleteI love the scissors pointing in and the little sewing machine that looks a bit like its on a washing line. xx
ReplyDeleteYay, love it, sure it will be well received :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to conquer my fear of zips, you make such lovely zipped stuff!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Her open-mouthed zipper has been on my list to try. I'm currently in a pouch swap and have been procrastinating making it as I can't decide on a design... I think I'll finally give it a go!
ReplyDeleteI love it, I think your partner will too. And you have included a lot of extras, and really good ones too.
ReplyDeleteWell like the anonymous commenter above I also think this web page is remarkable! I love your pouch and its way more advanced than mine that I've made!
