Hanami Pochette

 Hello, 

Recently I introduced the new wristlet pattern, Hanami Pochette. I've been working on the pattern since early November or so and plan to release it in December. But life happens! I had tooth problems and had to visit the dentist a couple of times, then my son's pre-board exam started and at the same time, we were busy with his college applications. So my mind was all over the place. 

Now about the Hanami Pochette. It is a versatile minimalist wristlet wallet that is perfect for carrying essential items. The largest size can fit the largest iPhone Pro Max and also can be used to carry passports when traveling. The medium size can fit in the basic iPhone model. 

Floral & Stripe Hanami Pochette

The small size is my personal favorite because I like to carry small bags and it fits perfectly in my purse. The wrist strap can be easily used as a key fob. Here are the latest ones I made.

If you want to up your game in bag making, this will be the perfect project. Watch the video above for more details. And if you have any questions, you can always email me or leave a comment here. 

Thank you for stopping by and happy sewing!

The Best of Five in 2023

 

Here we are again at the end of 2023. Looking back, there were a lot of things going on. Even though I didn't write as much as I intended to do at the beginning of the year, but I accomplished one thing from my bucket list which is to reach 10K subscribers on my YouTube Channel!  

However, the blog is still very important to me as this is where everything started. Now, once again I join Meadow Mist Best of 2023 Linky Party to reminiscence how's 2023 had been. Let's get started! 

Here are the 5 best posts of 2023

1. Scrappy Patchwork Pouch

I love making stuff from scrap fabrics. I made a few last year and have a whole bunch of scrappy panels in my PhD bin which hopefully I can make into something in 2024. 

2.  Scrappy Wallet Video Tutorial

Another scrappy project! This time I made these small scrappy wallets and made a video tutorial too. These small pouches are very handy to use and also make a great gift!

3. 36 patch Block For Quilting Bee

After years, I finally participated in another quilting bee at Desi Quilters Facebook group. It was fun to make a few blocks every month and I learned a few things along the way. This will be another quilt to complete next year! 

4.  Patchwork Quilt Wallet

Another list that is ticked off from my bucket list is to start making a patchwork wallet.  I'm looking forward to making more patchwork wallets in 2024. Insha Allah.

5. Kodomo Kids Wallet

This simple kodomo wallet is one of the most popular with my customers. It's so easy to make and kids love them.

Here wishing you a great creative year ahead, I'm looking forward to reading your stories too (even though I may not always leave any comments, but I enjoy reading blog posts!)
