I had an old flex frame pouch that was quite worn and tattered. I deconstructed it and used it to make my pattern to sew these pouches using cork fabric and a 4.72 inch metal flex band for the 'snap' opening.
The metal flex frames/bands came in three sizes and this was the larger size of the three.
The pouches measure approximately 4.5 inches square.
For the drawstring I used cotton cording adorned with wooden beads.
The bag measures 5 inches square at the base and is 5.5 inches tall.
I was inspired by this short video here provided by Tendersmile Handmade and just made a few modifications.
These were simple flex frame pouches to sew once I had created a pattern from an old worn pouch I had deconstructed.
I used embossed vegan leather to sew these two pouches. The teal pouch is square and measures 4.5 x 4.5 inches and the rust pouch measures 4 x 4.5 inches.
Handy size pouches for your earbuds, keys, coins, cards or other small items.
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!
