I chose four different Island Batiks to use in my pouch. These are from the Petting Zoo line. So cute aren't they. I am a giraffe lover so it was meant for me!
A little side view. I love how cute this is, it will hold my makeup perfectly.
There is even a zippered pocket inside. The only challenging part for me was the outside zipper. Totally my fault as the instructions are well written with great photos. I didn't have the zipper foot/needle position set on my machine correctly!! In my defense I don't do a lot of zippers, but, I still should have known! I didn't have the foam so I used Hobbs batting instead. Someday I will make another and purchase some foam.
One last photo to go with my one last post as an Island Batik Ambassador. It's been a great four years. I was hoping to continue on but it wasn't meant to be. I still have a little stash of IB fabrics that you will continue to see in future projects.
Thanks to Island Batik for providing fabrics, Hobbs for supplying the batting for this project. And to Liz for allowing me to review her cute Diamond Pouch. You can also find her on Facebook.
This has been an interesting challenge. So many interpretations of 3D. I love the prints you chose for this fun little pouch! If you find yourself wanting to collaborate next year let me know. I find myself with extra free time too <3 I've always enjoyed the projects you came up for when sewing the Island Batik challenges.
ReplyDeleteThe bag is super cute! Why will you not be an ambassador next year?
ReplyDeleteI love your pouch, Vicki! All those zippers are amazing! I'm so sad that you will not be an IB ambassador next year - you always make such wonderful things. Glad you still have scraps to play with, though!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! Oh man, I love that fabric. I looks a bit like a giraffe in a different colorway. Great 3D project. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bag! I love the fact that it doesn’t match on the side and the inside zip! I need one for a swap...going to check this pattern out.
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job! It's their loss that you're not coming back for 2920
ReplyDeleteOh, that fabric is so fun - that giraffe print is definitely you! You did a great job. I know you're going to miss IB, but like I've said, I'm sure there's more good stuff ahead! Keep making those lovely quilts, my friend! We love to see them!
ReplyDeleteOo la la, I love this bag with the yellow stripe to separate the fabrics. I'm so sorry to hear you will not be an IBA in 2020.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cute pouch, Vicki - way fancier than the plain ones I make. I love that it has an inside zippered pocket (one can never have too many pockets!!) I will continue to follow along and see what's next for you.
ReplyDeleteCute!! Bags are kind of tricky if you don't make them often. And I don't, so there's always that moment of frustration. Yours turned out really nice :)

ReplyDeleteThe last posting on my blog I showed my Diamond Pouches in Hot Air Balloon fabric, lol! I made those in the smallest Diamond. Which size Diamond did you make Vicki? I have made all 3 sizes months ago. The large is a nice big size. Liz comes up with such interesting ways to sew her bags and they work out perfectly!
ReplyDeleteLove your bag...especially the zipper inside.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bag Vicki! The batiks you chose are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun, and I love that you used a giraffe print for yourself! I am still intimidated by zippers and rarely make pouches or bags.
