A few wallets

 Hello,


Last week, I was pretty productive. I made a couple of wallets for orders and also finished 2 wallets from my WIP bucket! It feels good to be able to finish a few from the WIP list. 

This pink strawberry wallet is one of my best sellers! There's a Blue and Red one too in the shop. I love making this Nuno Small Wallet and is still my fave wallet to use for everyday, and I made one for my son too!

I love this wonderland fabric from Rifle Paper Co. Well, I love all their fabrics and purchased a few fabrics before the pandemic,  but now it's too expensive to buy because the shipping charge is pretty high. Anyway, I recorded the video when I was making this Wonderland wallet. I am still editing it now and hopefully will be able to share it soon! Pattern available HERE.

When making a wallet, choosing the fabric combo always takes a long time for me. Sometimes, I even end up using a different combo than what I initially picked. 
(I had fun making the BTS video below!) 





The second WIP I finished was this Red Floral Wallet. The fabric is from Sevenberry and I love the tiny floral print. This time, I used metal zipper and I love how this turned out. Also for the zipper end, I used the metal zipper end cap. I kinda love it although putting the tiny screw on the cap was a bit hard for me! I need to get the small screw driver!

Earlier this week, I went to the Post Office with Meenakshi, from Rustic Origin. We thought we'll check the latest update regarding sending parcel via India Post. It was totally waste of time because the person in charge in the main Guwahati PO were not interested or not willing to help.  So we deciced to go hang out for a bit at the Starbucks at the Brahmaputra Heritage Center. It's good we decided to go there because the view is so good. I think during sunset would be lovely!

After chilling out in Starbucks we went back to the PO and I still could not send my parcels. I decided to go the the University PO near my house, instead. The lady at the PO is very nice and seems to be well informed, and very helpful. Finally all my packages were on their way.

This week, I will catching up on my Quilting Bee block. I have 2 blocks to finish! Wish me luck! 


Until next time,

Happy Sewing

Scrappy Patchwork Pouch

Hello, 

A few months ago  I made a quick patchwork pouch from block print fabric when I was creating fabric bundles for the shop.  but did not get to share them here on the blog. Cutting fabrics always boost my sewing mood.  And who can resist when you see these beautiful fabrics! 

If you have a lot of scrap fabrics, here is a fun project to make. This project is super easy and it's a great gift to make. Everyone loves patchwork pouches! 





Here's what you need to make the pouch: 

1. Fabric scraps of various prints, sizes, and colors. I am using these fun fabrics

2. Scrap Cotton Batting (9" x 13" approx)

3. All Purpose Woven interfacing (7.5" x 12" ) - ( if you are in India, you can get it HERE)

4. Lining Fabrics (7.5" x 12") 

5. All Purpose Zipper #3  - I am using a 9" zipper. 

Now, let's watch the video on how to make this cute quilted-as-you-go pouch. 











Isn't it fun? The pouch turned out very soft and just the perfect size to carry essential makeup! You can whip up this pouch in a few minutes to make a quick gift! Let me know what you think in the comment below.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Sewing
