When I saw the
Travelling PicStitch Blog Hop I knew it was the perfect opportunity for me to try out English Paper Piecing. I don't do
much any traveling...ever, so I picked a photo from the internet that inspired me.
I still hate hand sewing :) but I love the way it turned out. I wasn't sure what to do with my finished piece and although I hated to cut it, I decided to do a quilted version of
Noodlehead's Open Wide Zippered Pouch.
I didn't have a big enough zipper to do the sizes on the tutorial so I just used their method of installing the zipper and winged it from there. I did straight line quilting on the front.
And decided to try wavy lines on the back.
The lining.
The measurements are a little funny: 6" tall x 5" wide x 2 1/2" deep but it makes a cute, functional pouch.
Your block is beautiful and made a wonderful pouch!
