With less weeds to be pulled I am finding more time to be in my sewing room where I love to sew. There is something quite calming and relaxing about sewing...provided I am not attempting a new pattern or technique unfamiliar to me.
So here are a couple of Origami Pouches in Halloween fabrics.
This is very vintage fabric that I have owned forever. I added a cute charm to each side flap. The lining is the same bright yellow as the cording. These are so simple to make that I actually made two at the same time.
This is some new fabric I bought this year and I adore it. This photo does not do justice to the fabric but that is for another day...photography and I do not see eye to eye. It has such a graphic flair to the standard spider web look. "Hallowgraphix" by Jason Yenter for "In the Beginning" fabrics. I only wish I had bought more than one yard. Each little pouch takes an 18.5" square of fabric and lining.
On this one I sewed buttons to the flaps and like the look. I am already planning a few more of these little fun pieces for gifts this year. With fabric choices and flap embellishments the options are endless.
Do you sew? Do you prefer fabric or paper or ???
Happy mid week to all...
Your bags are adorable! I especially like the orange one. It reminds me of candy corn!
ReplyDeleteI do love to sew, and I'm really enjoying spending time in my sewing room again!
Oh your bags are really wonderful! I love the fabrics and your charms and button additions. You are all set for Halloween now. I know what you mean about once you know a pattern, it can go really quick. Not so when it is a new pattern!

Cute little pouches..I hate to sound dumb, but what are they for. They are just too cute for trick or treating...
ReplyDeleteDo you put candy in them and give them as gifts at parties..what?
I love the charm idea! A lot!
I used to sew, constantly and you are right. It's relaxing and just so much fun. I keep thinking I will get back to it but somehow I never do. Too busy with the roses :)
Your pouches look fantastic Sherry - and they definitely don't look simple to make, so all credit to you! I do love to sew, although find myself doing paper crafts more often.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week x
How cute are these little bags?? Love them and the Halloween fabric is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteWonderful bags! Love the material. I like to sew a little, and this looks like a fun project.
ReplyDeleteOh they are fabulous, they look a little difficult to sew, looks like you have it down to a fine art! I see you used "The good stuff" the vintage fabric LOl

OMG, I love these ouches. Super duper cute.
ReplyDeleteI have a sewing machine and have always wanted to learn to sew. I have looked into classes but can't find anyone offering them during the day, only nights at our local community college.
Maybe I will just have to take it especially after seeing such cute projects.
thanks for sharing.
