The fruity pouch

I love this fabric, it comes with 2 sides printed and from Korea. It is Linen/cotton mixed fabric.
I wanted to make it so Zakka and I started with the size I like.
I decorated the pouch with the zipper puller which I designed the leather string, bow, and covered button. All of the bits parts using the same fabric. The covered buttons, I cut the fruit parts on the fabric.
I enjoyed sewing this pouch so much because the idea kept coming while I was working with it.

size  7 ''  x 5 '' x 1.25''

My recent handmade items



I have made a purse and a pouch so far, one is the black purse which I started sewing and added the designs along the way through. This black cotton fabric came from Thailand, my mum bought it for her dress and she gave me the leftover pieces.
I like the texture of the fabric, I sewn the tiny buttons to bright the colours up and used the linen bias to cover the zipper part.

I sewn the exterior purse first and then the same for the lining, I added a half inches width of the gusset to make the room for the purse.  At the top part, I finished off with the bias fabric tape and sewn the zipper on. I love to sew my purses this way,  I used a covered button to the end of zipper.

size is 5''  x  4 ''  x 0.50 ''
