I haven't been around much, busy with the kids and life. I'm so happy to be here today with a pattern review & giveaway for you. Bonnie from Pink Stitches was so kind to send me her pattern for the Bella Pouch to review & giveaway one to a lucky reader!
Ever since I saw this pouch I pictured it in this chicken & rooster fabric I had. I think it's fun and cute. It holds my camera perfectly with room to spare for other items, if I had a second camera I would have taken a picture to show you.
I paired it with this ric rac fabric because it had the green, aqua, red and brown. Don't you love those roosters? I had to fussy cut to get the rooster on in the corner and didn't realize his head would be covered. Oops!
This pattern was well written, included great pictures of the steps and it's very easy to make. Plus, it only requires 2 or 3 fat quarters, some interfacing & batting. If you haven't used a magnetic snap they are really easy to install and don't require a special tool.
Do you want to make your own? Enter using rafflecopter below, the first entry is mandatory - simply leave a comment telling me which fabrics you think you would use for your own pouch. Everything after that is extra. The giveaway will run from today {7/30/12} through Thursday {8/2/12} and I will announce a winner on Friday!
If you don't want to wait for the giveaway or you don't win {sad face} you can click HERE to purchase the pattern from Bonnie's Etsy shop, Pink Stitches. You can also find Bonnie and what she's up to at her blog Pink Stitches.

ReplyDeleteI like Owls, so something with Owls on it :)
ReplyDeleteI would use one of the blue 'Birds and the bees' Tula Pink's fabrics to make this :)
ReplyDeleteI think I would use this as an excuse to go fabric shopping, so I'm not sure what fabric I'd use! Lol
ReplyDeleteI have some girly skulls that I would like to use. It would be nice for my new camera!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the pouch! Great job! The roosters are super cute lol. I'm not sure if I would try and use fabric I have or find something JUST for this. Probably use the excuse to get something new ;) Maybe something in gray/yellow/teal?! Ohhhhh I LOVE that idea! Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteI want your fabrics! I would probably do something girly though.. maybe some of my vintage stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove! I have some leftovers of that same fabric and I think they are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI've got some "Prince Charming" frog fabric. It's been waiting for a project to pop up. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm new to sewing, and I'm falling in love with it! I have a blast trying new projects. My fabric stash is pretty small, I'd have to buy something new. Which means going to the fabric store, which is by far one of my most favorite things to do...without the kids :)
ReplyDeleteI have the same chicken and rooster fabric! I have made baby shoes from it. For this pouch I would use some chevron-ish fabric I have in warm colors.
