Here's a shot of the lining. I love both of these prints so much and although they do not "match" I love them together.
Here's the back. It's just so cute! The tutorial is for an I-pad mini pouch but seeing as I don't have one of those I'll be using mine as a clutch type thing. Probably diapers, wipes, keys and wallet. It's pretty roomy.
I started crocheting a sweater for the baby. I am not so good at it but it's fun. I learned how to crochet when I was a teenager and I made lots of hats and scarfs but this is the first pattern I've followed. The pattern is free here.
Lastly but not leastly :) Our chickens started to lay eggs! YAY! This is so very exciting for me. We had three chickens a few years ago. They were Leghorns and laid white eggs. That was fun but this is AWESOME!
So far we've gotten greenish blue, lighter blue, pinkish brown, light brown and brown. Very fun!!!
That pouch is so cute!!! Love the colors and the cosen fabric and the handquilting! The text print is also great, do you happen to know what it is?
ReplyDeleteThanks Gunilla! That print is Annie's Farm Stand Seed Catalog by Holly Holderman for Lake House Dry Goods. Thanks! xo Erin
ReplyDeleteOh I miss my " girls " . I used to love watching them scratch around. The lemon meringue pie wasn't bad either. Your pouch is darling, as is everything you do : )
ReplyDeleteLove the little pouch. Can I just say that I cannot see the links or the names etc on the comments, they are there of course, but the yellow on the white background is really hard to see. :D
ReplyDeleteI love your little pouch, and the handquilting is just great!
ReplyDeleteAdorable pouce!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pouch! I'll have to remember that tutorial :) Love those eggs!!
ReplyDeleteyour pouch is perfect!! and your chickens lay the prettiest eggs! I keep trying my husband into getting chickens but we haven't jumped the coop hurdle.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post today! Your pouch is just awesome. I was so happy to read that you had just let the fabric order happen. That sounds like something I want to try. You're so right about the interior prints not "matching" but looking so great together. I hope to do more of those combinations in my future projects, because I enjoy seeing them elsewhere. Those eggs are also very cool. My uncle has some fancy chickens and they remind me of him. Lots to love in this post!
ReplyDeleteThe pouch certainly is darling...But those eggs! Swoon!!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite as fun as collecting fresh eggs in the morning!

ReplyDeleteI kind of miss having chickens...the fresh eggs were so good!
ReplyDeleteO.M.G. That pouch is ADORABLE!! I love it, I must go make one right now. Great job and I'm envious of your crocheting skills! I just took up knitting last year, but we are pretty much still stuck in straight lines only, nothing fancy!
ReplyDeletelove your mix of fabric prints!!
ReplyDeleteYour little bag is so fun and cute! Just makes you smile looking at all those pretty patches! Love the text fabric with the mini floral fabric too.
ReplyDeleteI love that little bag...I don't think I would've been so creative with the black and white top...it's great with the patchwork of color!
ReplyDeleteGreat eggs too.
I love that scrappy pouch!! I'm hoping to get an E reader soon and this would be perfect. Thanks for the inspiration :)
