Possibly not the most ‘pc’ title I could have come up with – particularly with all the emphasis that is around at the moment on plastic waste! But, after using vinyl in a previous project, I decided to try a slightly more ambitious project and chose the booklet pouch – a design by Aneela Hoey. The pouch consists of four vinyl zipper pouches which are bound together. The design is quite heavy on material and there are lots of zips and binding to be sewn. Aneela Hoey’s instructions are clearly written and easy to follow. Here are some pictures of my progress….
The final pouch is 9″ high x 11″ in length x 3″ wide and looks like this….
……and it is currently home to all my goldwork bits and bobs. If I make the pouch again I think I will try to be a little more ambitious with the cover – maybe adding applique or working in patchwork.
Stitch happy everyone!
What a great idea! It looks lovely and spacious with lots of different spaces. I imagine it will come in very handy!
Keeps all my bits and bobs together.
looks very practical and I love the fabrics you used!
I am a big blue and purple fan!
I love the fabrics you chose, especially those elephants!
Thank you – I just love blue and purple!
That’s turned out very well, hasn’t it!
It did seem to work out quite well!
Looks great and so useful!
Might have to make a few more – have an ever expanding collection of junk!
That’s lovely – and useful too!
Well done, I like it. And the fact that it is plastic / vinyl makes it so versatile.
It certainly is very useful!
It’s lovely! And so useful too
Thank you
Oh that is lovely – I’ve never tried sewing with anything plastic – is it hard?
The plastic is a little slippy and you obviously need to used clips rather than pins – but other than that it wasn’t too bad to work with.
