Last month I participated in the Pretty Pouch Swap hosted by Kim of Lily Patch Quilts.
I had a lot of fun and got to know my partner a little bit too, it is always fun to learn about new people and try and make something that they will hopefully love. As this was a pouch swap the pattern I picked was the Gathered Clutch by Noodlehead. It is a pattern I have made once before and I really loved it.
My partner Roxie described her style as Rustic Tuscan which I had never heard of, so I of course headed over to Pinterest and did a search. I saw lots of blues and browns together, which is awesome because I happen to have lots of both of those colors! Here is the pouch I came up with:
I just love these 2 prints together! Here is an inside shot – I opted for the pockets and for the divider. I love being able to separate things in my wallet so I wanted to make sure Roxie had that option too!
All I did was reverse the prints on the inside. I used about a fat eighth or so of both my fabrics and I’m tickled with how it turned out. I tucked a mini charm pack inside for my partner. We were supposed to throw in local treats but I don’t keep much in the house because of Anne’s allergies. I hope my partner didn’t mind that too much.
Tomorrow I will be sharing a special quilt I am working on for Anne so make sure you stop by to check it out!
Your pouch is very pretty. The color combo is fantastic. I’m sure Roxie is going to love it! This has been such a fun swap 🙂
Very pretty pouch!
lovely work!
Awesome pouch! I love that pattern! =)
Ooh, divided, love that
Pretty cool with pockets and divider!
I love your pouch. The brown looks like a batik almost. What a lucky person your partner is. I know I’d rather have a mini-charm pack than more sugar to add to my bloodstream (she said, after eating 3 mini-cupcakes from a specialty baker today).
Love the color combo,as well as the divider and pockets!
Rustic Tuscan is new on me, but the pouch looks like it should fulfil her every wish 🙂
