30 Minute Pouch Tutorial

I recently made a bunch of these pouches for an upcoming event and I thought I'd share how!  These are super quick and easy and are perfect for teachers gifts, last minute gifts, or as a cute way to hold gift cards.  They will really only take 30 minutes!  Promise!  I timed myself! 

You can find this tutorial for PDF download on Etsy.

  As you can see, the pouch is large enough to carry most cell phones.

It's a quick and simple pouch!

Snippets

I recently got an iPhone (hooray!)  Here are some snippets of my life today in Instagram.

Finished my Far Far Away top.  I think I'm keeping this one--unless someone makes me an outrageous offer.  :)

Received one of my Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day prizes from Katy (imagingermonkey on Flickr).  Isn't it fab?!?!?  I won two other prizes on Giveaway Day, but I forgot to take pictures, oops!

The pouch is lined with Liberty!!!!!

My boys are loving all the pictures I'm taking of them on the phone!  They don't really like my camera, but they think the phone is fun!

I also got some fun quilting news today, but you all have to wait until March for the details! 

Gifts and Bee Blocks

I was quite productive today!  I managed to start and complete three projects!  First up is my morning project, a quick kid's quilt for my friend's son who turned 2.  

She requested no gifts, but I just couldn't stand it!  Today was the party so I had to come up with something that I could finish in a couple of hours.  This was so stinkin' easy!  I've been holding on to that 2D Zoo for a while and this seemed like the perfect time to use it.  

Around lunch time I also made this market bag as a surprise gift for a friend.  I won't say who in case she ever reads my blog.  The outside is Isso Ecco and the inside is Early Bird.

Tonight I decided to get my June bee block out of the way for Twice Around the Block.  Mary requested any type of triangle block so long as it finished within a 12.5" square.  I had no plan with this.  I just made a few smaller triangles then had to work out how to make them into a square.  Probably not the best idea since I barely had enough fabric!  I had to use a little of my own on the ends, but no biggie!

In other news, I got approved for another Moda Bakeshop Project!  Hooray!!!!
