Little Camellia Pouch
Good morning friends! Sitting here having my coffee, it's sunny out, its going to be nice weather for a few days, but the mornings are still pretty chilly. It feels familiar to sit here with my morning coffee, it's my old early morning routine.
Surprise, I finished my first Little Camellia Pouch! I love it! I think the fabrics worked, the colors in that Lori Holt fabric ( I don't remember which collection but it's recent) has all the colors of the Kokka Message for You fabric. I see it's sold out at Sunny Day Supply but there are some similar Kokka prints in the line still available.
I like how the bag came together. I wish my zipper application had been more even on the front pocket. I don't know how I managed to get the more zipper tape showing on one side of the zipper. But I'll make this again and see if I can't remedy that. It doesn't ruin it for me. I don't sew a lot on these kinds of projects so it's nice to try and then see if I can't improve on it.
The lining is a nice finish inside. It fits well and I was a little worried about the top stitching but it went just fine, and didn't make the lining funky like I was afraid of. I did do a lot of careful pressing and I took my time. The construction of the bag is very clever.
Here's the iron on messages that are coordinates for this line of fabric. Super cute right? No idea what I will choose, there are a lot of options. I want to wait, as you cannot iron over them after application. Mary (from Sunny Day Supply) talked about this on IG.
I chose the lining because of the cute black and white lettering stickers. I just think the whole line is so cute and it's such a clever idea.
Anyway that's how I spent yesterday afternoon. It was fun, and I have more zippers and fabric left for a couple of more pouches, including the smaller version of the Little Camellia Pouch. I have a couple of other patterns to try out as well. Crossing my fingers that the next projects turn out as well. Happy weekend friends. Stay well!!! xop
