New cosmetic bags

I am currently working on new cosmetic bags. I used to make them once upon a time and then for some reason, just stopped. Looking back now I'm really not sure why I stopped since they sold well but here they are again - new and improved. 

This time I'm starting with a group of bags made in a variety of beautiful cotton/linen blend Echino prints paired with coordinating faux leathers. I have scooters, cameras and a variety of wildlife fabrics in stock. 

These are based on Noodlehead's tutorial for pouches that open nice and wide with my own custom dimensions. I used a waterproof and washable lining on the inside - so important for spills and for keeping your bag clean and bacteria free! I also added some cute zipper pulls and a nice coordinating pull tab at the end of the zipper. 

These are coming with me to my final 3 shows of the season and then they will be listed on Etsy in the New Year!

The Petunia Pouch is ready!

I added the Petunia Pouch pattern to my Etsy pattern shop a few days ago but because of the holidays, I have not had time to post about it. I had a hard time deciding whether it should be a beginner pattern or not but to be safe, I wrote that it would require some experience with zippers and preferably a more simple style of zipper pouch.

It's really not difficult to make this rounded pouch, it may just seem that way because you can't sew all around the entire pouch at once when sewing the body pieces together. In any case, I think you should give it a try! Get your Petunia Pouch pattern here.
