This was my first attempt at proper QAYG; slow, takes waaaaay more concentration, measuring, Aurifil and order than making a block and quilting it, but I do love the effect.
I used some of my old scraps, and some of my new ones c/o Reene and Jessie, and went a little out of my usual colour scheme, going into the red more than my safe, happy pink place, and again really pleased I did.
Bonnie-Pink Stitches Boxy Pouch tute is really lovely to follow, and the method of keeping all the raw edges hidden and no-hand finishing the lining is great.
My only niggle, and that is at myself, not the tute, as I know precisely where I went wrong, is that when empty, the lining is a bit baggy. Next time I will make the lining seam allowances a little bigger, because there will be a next time, oh yes there will!
Linking this, as my final January finish, to Sarah's scrap party...
See, not all my Monday's are doom and gloom xxx
Lovely...I'm loving that gingham lining.
ReplyDeleteOh I really live that pouch. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAh, so that's where the elusive sun was today!! Gorgeous pouch! Jxo
ReplyDeleteLovely pouch! I've only made one boxy pouch with my Mum snaffled it. I was never that happy with it because of raw edges inside. If I'd have read the tute properly I'd have realised it would end up that way and would have probably passed.
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute! I love the scraps - the colors play so nicely together!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful pouch Hadley. Love the scrappiness, the colours really work well together and the little grey flashes are great :)
