Little zippered pouch


I really wanted to sew last night but I didn't know what.
So I had a look in my cupboard at my little stash and was hoping that inspiration might jump out at me......nope.
I decided to grab the layer cake (well part of one I think) that I picked up at a garage sale and wondered what I could make with these little pieces of fabric.


I'm not brave enough to try tackling a quilt yet, although one made of these fabrics would be absolutely gorgeous.

In the end I thought that I would make myself a little zippered pouch to carry my phone and keys in when I walk down to the school to pick up my youngest two boys.



Certainly nothing fancy but a practical, quick little project.

Not that you can see it in the photos but I boxed the bottom corners just a little bit and I used some fusible fleece to give my phone a little extra protection and I lined the pouch with another piece of the layer cake.



I will share my nifty little pouch on the following linky parties this week:

    Hi Michelle .Looks amazing . Just looks big enough for your phone and keys so not too bulky for wrist strap. Well done .
    hugs Mum

      I want to, I really do Jennifer but I think that it will come out looking all wonky and I would hate to waste the fabric. maybe I need to start with something small like pot holder or table runner.

    Looks great, Michelle. A girl can never have too many zippered pouches. Once you try quilting, you'll wonder why you waited.

      Thanks Bev. I was thrilled to find the pretty fabric at the garage sale for just a couple of dollars but have been wondering what to do with it since. :)
