I used the pattern I had created by deconstructing an old pouch I had and used two different materials to sew these two flex frame pouches.
The rose gold cork fabric pouch measures 4.5 inches square and the pink leather pouch is approximately 4 x 4.5 inches.
Sometimes these pouches are referred to by different names; self closing pouch, pinch pouch, squeeze coin purse, snap top, spring frame, but are usually made using the same metal flex band hardware.
This hand stitched scrappy boho-ish textile bowl was a fun and quick project. I used two pieces of white needled cotton batting basted together for the base. I drew a circle for the size of my bowl and a smaller inner circle for the size of my base. I then cut this circle out and cut 6 equal 'pie' sections to the 'base' of the inner circle. Folded each section up overlapping slightly to create the bowl shape. I used 12wt Egyptian cotton thread and randomly hand stitched my pieces of fabric to this base.
You can view a demonstration here to create the bowl template.
My wonky, wabi-sabi bowl measures 2"H x 4"Diam. and 2" at the base.
I sewed this fabric bowl using the pattern included in the Tilda book; Hot Chocolate Sewing. I used 100% cotton coordinating fabrics from several Tilda collections and a low loft fusible fleece as an interfacing.
Finished size measures 3"H, 5"W at the rim and 3" at the base of the bowl.
In the book she provides two pattern sizes for the bowl; large and small, I made the small bowl.
This book is filled with over 20 projects. You can choose from quilts and softies, bags and dolls, pillows and purses. Autumnal motifs include reindeer, mice, apples, butternut squash, ducks, birds, houses and more.
So grab yourself a hot chocolate and plan your next project!
They're such a joy to see. Sadly, their vibrant, bright, cheerful appearance will soon be gone, full bloom typically lasts only about 20 days.
