Hello, how's everyone doing? It's been so very busy around here that I barely had any time to sew in the last few days. Totally feeling withdrawal symptoms coming on :) Must get some sewing done today!
I did, however, sew a teeny bit over the weekend. I made this drawstring bag and a matching ipod case for my middle daughter. They are encouraged to bring their smart devices to school on certain days which of course meant her ipod needed a new padded case, and the case needed a matching drawstring bag to go in. You know how these ideas take a life of their own, right?
My daughter chose the sheep fabric by Creative Thursday from their Locally Grown collection for the bag and inside of the pouch. I then added some Kona Pomegranate for contrast.
I used some scraps and linen for the exterior of the case. I like how pretty, simple, and calm it looks. I was tempted to do a lot more patchwork but since neither of my daughters are keen on patchwork, this strip of pretties was all I could get away with.
I also stamped her name on the bag - you never know, someone else in the class might have a sheep drawstring bag, too :)
All in all, this was such a fun and quick project and we both love how it turned out.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Svetlana
Gorgeous pouches - those sheep at so cute!
ReplyDeleteYep, must watch out for those proliferating sheep leaping onto pouches ;o) I do love the sheep though!

ReplyDeleteThat is pretty excellent fabric.
ReplyDeleteHi Svetlana, I love the strip of pretties you were able to get away with! Do you mind if I ask, did you just use batting or something else, so the ipod is protected? Is one layer enough, or did you use two? Many thanks, Kelly
ReplyDeleteWhat cute sheep fabric!
ReplyDeleteVery fun littles - love your new bags!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteHi! I love these! Your design for the ipod case is so good! I like how to the cover is the size of the case. Of course I love that sheepy fabric and I think I need to make a drawstring bag for my crochet project. x Teje

This is so cute. I love the green sheep fabric with the Kona pomegranate (my favorite Kona color). What a great thing to do for your daughter, I am sure all of the other kids in her class will be jealous :)
ReplyDeleteSooo sweet :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this colourful pieces. I like the sheep fabric. Would be something for my little ones, too. (And also for me but don't tell anyone :) Who made it?) I'm looking closely at the case to figure out how you made it. Still need a case for my cell phone (aka smart phone). The case looks so wonderful. Maybe I just have to wing it.
ReplyDeleteSvetlanko, koukam, ze vubec nezahalis! Paradni komplet pro dcerku, moc krasne! J.
