I just had to make a triangle pouch tonight. I love The Crafty Gemini (Vanessa Wilson) and I have used a lot of her tutorials to make bags, pouches, and other projects over the last several years. She is so cute and she does a good job explaining all the steps. Here is a link to her youtube tutorial to make this sweet triangle pouch. This cute little pouch is just big enough to hold my ipod and the usb cord for the car. I would love to make more of these. I have to get some more zippers in some pretty colors. The cat fabric I used is Purrsnickitty by Terri Degenkolb of Whimiscals for Red Rooster Fabrics.
I had to so some fun sewing in between working on the polyester string quilt project. This quilt is going to take a while to get finished. I now have the binding and old backing separated from the top and I have mended all the seams that were coming apart. As I was taking the poor thing apart all the paper towels that the maker used for stabilization of the strings came tumbling out. I felt so sorry for this poor little quilt. Tomorrow I will be making my backing and I should have it sandwiched by the end of the week. The quilting will be tricky on this because a lot of these squares don't lay flat so I may have to do some big stitch hand quilting in some spots to get this quilted sufficiently. Once I get it quilted I will have to deal with the wonky edges. No two rows line up on the edges and it's an odd shape. I hate to trim any of the fabric off, I'm hoping to try to bind it without cutting any of the quilt top.
