Here is just a quick little post about a gift for my oldest son's teacher (you could make this for anyone, or for yourself).
I love making handmade gifts. My son's teacher likes the color purple, so I looked through my fabric stash. I found this pretty fabric with purple(ish) flowers and a coordinating material for the lining. I made my pouch 10" X 8" and filled it with some of her favorite things.
** I did iron it again after seeing this last photo **
The tutorial used is from the awesome blog www.dana-made-it.com. You can get the tutorial from Dana's website by clicking here. If you have not visited her blog, and like to sew, you must go see her. I have made many of her bags and many of her children's clothes via her tutorials. Her tutorials are very easy to follow and she has the cutest things! I have made many different sizes of these pouches, including with key chain tab, ruffles, etc. Endless possibilities.
I did not even have to buy a zipper for this project. I had thrown away some outdoor pillows that were beyond faded recently. They did not hit the trash can though until I had ripped out the zippers from both pillows! Those things will last forever.
Hello Summer!!!
