Sara at Sew Sweetness is having a different challenge each month with her Minikins patterns. The Minikins are 12 patterns of small bags, with step-by-step videos, that are fun to make, use and give as gifts.
The Minikins challenge for September is the Moto Pouch. I made a size small and a size large:

I started out by quilting my fabrics with Annie's Soft and Stable (yes, there's a chunk cut out of the navy fabric where I fussy cut a different block!):

Here's my size large Moto Pouch. (The acrobat was made by my Japanese friend and is sewn over a plastic clothespin):

The pouches look great and I love the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to see your Minikins. Is there a book with the patterns? I love that little acrobat, but sure glad I didn't have to make him!
ReplyDeleteThe Minikins are a 12-pattern+video bundle and are PDFs. https://sewsweetness.com/products/minikins
DeleteGreat quilting designs on those Minikins. Glad you pointed out the Llama and bird-not sure I would have spotted them myself
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, I love them! I need to catch up on my minikins.
ReplyDeleteYou do beautiful work and take excellent pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteThose bags are just too cute! Is that my favorite line I spy - Daydreams by Kate Spain? So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can almost name that fabric line, but now right now! Loved that navy print with the fussy cut missing - too funy.
ReplyDeleteAdorable pouches. Yours look awesome.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pouches! Does a rotary cutter fit in there? Certainly would be a great way to transport it.
ReplyDeletePerfect fabric pairings for these pouches, Nancy. Nice work!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I really like sewing bags, but I've never tried one of Sara's patterns. I think I need to remedy that!
