10 practice makes perfect.

5.02.2011

Well maybe not perfect, but it's a vast improvement from my first pouch!  The proportions and fabric choices for this one are much better!  I used an Echino print for the top, linen for the middle, and a yellow print from the new Denise Schmidt collection for JoAnn.  I handstitched a few little X's on the front, just for fun.
The inside is my favorite Modern Meadow Herringbone print by Joel Dewberry in Aqua, and I added a pink zipper for an inside pocket.
The bottom has boxed corners to give it a little depth.
It's hard to see in the photo, but I stitched my logo on the back with the same gray perle cotton to finish it off.
This one will soon be on its way to my partner in the Pretty {little} Pouch Swap!  I hope she likes it!

    Practice definitely makes perfect! Glad you got the opportunity to make it again and more to your liking! I need to get better at sewing zippers!
