So, I add pockets to my bags all the time, I love adding them both to the exterior as well as the lining 😁.</p><p style="text-align: center;">One of my most favorite pockets is an exposed (or welt) zipper pocket.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I like how easy it is to add this pocket to pretty much any bag or pouch panel without having to adjust any of the panel's measurements at all.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ER8IB1LM9c" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzoy1SRJEXeOrjTWN9j-REDZTAA5pbwuEB8Fx3E7werW3BOvNU7XT7z2wwrxr8Hx_a14zuenLlkw6g92Cgy_l5fb12ferykiS4ygcT2iAWKGFcQQ5W2sEFGxzc3GhQFdeg2hExKqxHMH2C/w640-h360/IMG_9182+%25282%2529.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">And, in case you'd like to learn how to install these pockets in your projects, I have a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ER8IB1LM9c" target="_blank">free video tutorial</a> for you today.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV3rMc9WeGm1Ae3JLGsUlrUkhnwa-ES8ZFhBAX7TbrgNMTAXbHnWnc0uKa8pzrt-DowPJwnZrky8ZWXbc6gZe_d_EK_bvEgb12QY6OaIhgla-_RTDo-V8UlejD3SFDGuFnqMbSmeqTsRGp/s2048/IMG_0606.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1656" data-original-width="2048" height="518" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV3rMc9WeGm1Ae3JLGsUlrUkhnwa-ES8ZFhBAX7TbrgNMTAXbHnWnc0uKa8pzrt-DowPJwnZrky8ZWXbc6gZe_d_EK_bvEgb12QY6OaIhgla-_RTDo-V8UlejD3SFDGuFnqMbSmeqTsRGp/w640-h518/IMG_0606.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">In my tutorial I added a welt zipper pocket to the exterior panel of my<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/752397203/juniper-basket-in-two-sizes-pdf-sewing?ref=shop_home_active_18&crt=1" target="_blank"> Juniper Basket,</a> but you can easily adjust the provided instructions to work with a different size of the zipper/ pocket.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">And, in case you'd like to give this lovely basket a try, <a href="https://payhip.com/b/Wudb" target="_blank">click here for the pattern</a>.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Happy sewing, lovely makers!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Talk soon.

But, I like options, so I tried to make some Chubby Totes with fabric handles and I love this all washable version equally as much.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I used canvas and cotton/linen prints for both the exterior and the lining of this bag and I added a layer of Pellon SF101 interfacing to my exterior panels which makes for a soft, but sturdy bag.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I think I'm going to make a few in Merchant and Mills dry oilskin next.

It's one of my favorite projects to work on and today I wanted to talk a bit about one of my most favorite pouch ever, the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/646078789/devon-zipper-pouch-diy-pouch-patterns?ref=shop_home_active_2&crt=1" target="_blank">Devon Pouch</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9mfsubYo5saH2ePF3_dc-eZA3TavtaaO78weZBOva-iWzqsMf6HIDg3axF75EJT-gxU2kedzsTcjIvq6Dv2EpHc3UF4RsxMD5v0L_i6mKlyQI-u_6YH0XAt3s3DQKuKvl-YDOQn6UVpIz/s2000/Blank+2000+x+2000+%252832%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9mfsubYo5saH2ePF3_dc-eZA3TavtaaO78weZBOva-iWzqsMf6HIDg3axF75EJT-gxU2kedzsTcjIvq6Dv2EpHc3UF4RsxMD5v0L_i6mKlyQI-u_6YH0XAt3s3DQKuKvl-YDOQn6UVpIz/w640-h640/Blank+2000+x+2000+%252832%2529.png" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Here's just a little sampling of the Devon Pouches I made over the last year or so :).</p><p style="text-align: center;">I love putting these sweet fabric combinations together, matching them up with metal zippers, and whipping up these super useful pouches. I especially love having the extra zipper pocket on the front as it helps me keep things a bit more organized in my purse.</p><p style="text-align: center;">As you can see, I'm quite a fan of combining floral prints with Essex linen (yarn dyed linen in black is my favorite). And, because I know many of you will ask, I buy my zippers from<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/zipit" target="_blank"> Zipit</a> or <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/needledboutique" target="_blank">Needled Boutique</a> on Etsy. </p><p style="text-align: center;">You can <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/646078789/devon-zipper-pouch-diy-pouch-patterns?ref=shop_home_active_2&crt=1" target="_blank">purchase the pattern for this pouch here</a> if you'd like to give it a go.</p><p style="text-align: center;">And, in case you're not sure about the whole working with zippers thing, I put together a time lapse video on how I sew this pouch for you to see.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="317" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9Y8UCPifSZ0" width="429" youtube-src-id="9Y8UCPifSZ0"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Happy sewing, friends.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I really love the idea of having two exterior zipper pockets and I keep my phone in one, and keys in the other one. Makes finding keys or picking up the phone when it rings so much easier :)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The inside of the bag is wonderfully roomy without feeling too huge. It fits one's wallet, water bottle, a book, an extra shopping bag, plus a few other necessities with ease. I made myself one of these bags a few weeks ago and I absolutely love its size and functionality.</span></span><br />

I even included instructions on how to make your own fabric handles in the pattern if that's the route you'd like to take.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lots of zippers, can you tell I'm a big zipper fan? I love adding metal zippers to my bags but it's totally a personal preference and nylon zippers would work just as well. So, if you like nylon zippers, please feel free to use those. I'm sure your bag will turn out beautifully.</span><br />

Hello lovelies, happy Friday to you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What strange times we're living in, aren't we? We've been practicing social isolation in order to help flatten the curve this whole week and are expecting to keep doing it for the next couple of weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure a lot of you are in the same situation so I thought you might appreciate a new tote bag pattern to work on :). And, since it's not business as usual for almost any of us, I decided to make this a <a href="https://payhip.com/b/YdEp">FREE pattern</a>, available to all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pretty fun, right? Sheridan Tote is a beginner friendly tote bag with a fabulously large front pocket and super chic leather handles, plus the optional addition of rivets and heavy duty snap closure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tote can be made using just one print or you can mix and match two or more prints if you wish. With simple tote like this it's super fun to play around with fabric placement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also substitute leather handles with webbing ones, or you can even make your own fabric handles. Lots of options, I'm telling you :)</div>

Hello lovelies,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I while ago I talked about the mountain of scraps I managed to accumulate over time and how I decided to give myself a challenge of sewing up 100 items using scraps only. Now, this is a pretty relaxed kind of challenge as there's no time restriction and I work on many other projects as well as I think all scraps all the time would get old pretty soon :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy to say I've been pretty consistently dipping into my scrap bins and I now have 10 projects to show you (only 9 photos as the kitty pouch and wrist strap in the bottom row are counted as two separate projects).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here are some blocks I already made. I'm using 2.5'' squares, sort of randomly pieced into these 20 patch blocks and I'll then be adding probably white rectangles in between the blocks to break up all the scrappiness a bit. Super fun!</div>

I've been meaning to design a wallet pattern for quite some time so having this cutie all finished feels even more special than usual.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how this wallet isn't too large, yet it's roomy enough for all the necessities one might need. There are slots for eight cards, two slip pockets for cash, and even a super handy zipper compartment. Plus a closure tab, of course.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I graded this pattern as intermediate as it requires quite a bit of precision in measuring and sewing, but I think an adventurous, committed beginner would be able to sew it up as well ;)</div>

Hello lovelies, happy Tuesday to you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I mentioned last week, I've been diving into my scrap bins and trying to come up with many different ways of turning all those precious pieces of fabric into useful projects. I seem to have a lot of strings in my bins and I thought making some removable wrist straps for my pouches would be fun. And, it totally was :).</div>

I love that all I needed to make each of these wrist straps was one 2'' x 12'' strip of quilting cotton, one 2'' x 11'' strip of interfacing (I used SF101), 1/2'' swivel hook, and I also used a rivet but you could totally just skip this and add stitching instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And you know what? I think these might make great key fobs as well. Or, you could even make your strip a lot longer and use the same technique to turn it into a lanyard. Oh, the possibilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And, since I totally couldn't stop at just making wrist straps, I made this pouch as well. Such a lovely combo, don't you think? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/646092737/the-essential-pouch-in-four-sizes-pdf?ref=shop_home_active_8&crt=1">The Essential Pouch pattern</a> and this is a medium size pouch.</div>
