At the end of the evening I had 4 pouches. I had no specific design or plan in mind, I was just making them up as I went. Love how they all turned out. I think they'll make great Christmas presents for my oldest daughters' teachers.
I loved this color combination so much that I decided to make a notebook and cell phone cover, too. I used this tutorial.
The tutorial is so wonderfully well written and easy to follow that I ended up making one more notebook cover, this time using Aneela Hoey's Little Apples fabric which I absolutely adore.
Do you have a favorite color combo or a project you can't seem to stop making?

These are simply wonderful! The architectural fabric is also really great. What collection is it from?
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing that tutorial for the wallet/organizer and should really make one. Yours turned out great, the other projects as well. I too love gray with pretty much any other colour. Lately I've been doing quite a bit with red/aqua which I also love!
ReplyDeleteHi, Svetlana. Came over from Quilting Bloggers. Beautiful pouches and your kids' teachers always deserve the best! Like your Drunkard's path quilt--interesting method and cute fabrics.

One of my favourite colour combo's, and you totally rocked it. ROCKED it.
ReplyDeletePurple is my favorite color! But I tend to stick within a certain fabric line and don't pull together my own fabrics by myself. I have in the past and am usually disappointed with the outcome. You must have a knack for it though because those little wallets are perfect! The houndstooth check is really nice.
ReplyDeleteSo, I am mostly constrained by what is popular (or what WAS popular since I probably bought on sale and is not current anymore) therefore aqua and gray is my most used color combo.
Ooooh, I adore that houndstooth fabric!! I think the fabric pairing I keep coming back to is anything with blue - I think there's blue in every single quilt I make, most of the time! But, now I'm feeling the urge to tackle something gray and purple :)
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic! Great teacher's gifts! What a fab idea (and color combo/fabric choice)!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those fabrics look great! Love grey and with the purple it's so stunning. Great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric choices. They all look so wonderful! Purple and gray is my favorite color combo right now...I've got a purple and gray quilt in the works right now!
ReplyDeleteSo fabulous! I'm in LOVE with that houndstooth fabric!!! :) Right now I seem to be a sucker for yellow and gray! Thanks for linking up to {Sew} Modern Monday and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI those these! I am all about Christmas already, but I am using a rainbow of colors in my projects, so I won't get bored! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing!!
Very cool, love that colour combo, and those wee notebooks work perfectly in their covers too
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteSorry for my delayed reply but thank you so much for my pouch that I won in the giveaway. It took about a month to get here, so my reply is not as late as it mught seem! I love it. Thank you so much.
Cheers,
Sarah
Very nice work! Love your fussy cuts.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so cute! We would love if you linked to Fabric Tuesday's at Quiltstory@blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHi, I came over from Fabric Tuesday. I don't have a favourite colour combo but love aqua. I love the grey you have used.
ReplyDeleteThis colour combo looks great - very stylish. Your daughter's teachers will be delighted!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! What line is that Big Ben fabric?
