November Minikins Challenge ✅

Sara @ Sew Sweetness is doing a monthly challenge with her Minikins patterns. The Minikins are a bundle of 12 small bags/projects that come with downloadable pdf instructions, patterns and step-by-step videos. 

The Minikins challenge for November is the Trifle Tumbler pouch. There are three sizes:

I quilted my fabric first. It's not necessary when using Annie's Soft and Stable, but it's lovely to quilt Soft & Stable, and fabric always looks better quilted:

I have to take my Red Snappers off my longarm when I quilt Soft & Stable, due to the spongey thickness. No problem though--that's quick and easy to do. I quilted both pieces of fabric in a row, as you can see here:

I quilted up quite a bit of fabric, 1/2 yard of the stripes and 1 yard of the "lava lamps", so you will be seeing more projects made from these fabrics in the future. Here's the back of the Soft & Stable:

These pouches really do tumble, so I needed some assistants to keep them from tumbling while I took photos! They were handmade by a Japanese woman from upcycled shirt fabric. I made the large Trifle Tumbler first:

Both of these fabrics are digitally printed. I used a hot pink Grunge for the lining on all three Trifle Tumblers. Here's the medium:

Only one holder was needed for the small size:

I love these zippers! They come packaged with 3 yards of zipper and 12 pulls, made by Sallie Tomato. The coils look like metal, but they are nylon which makes them easier to cut and sew.

Sara @ Sew Sweetness demonstrated how to apply the zipper head to the zipper coil in her recent video using a fork. Brilliant!

Make sure you check out Sara's link-up to see all the creative versions of the Trifle Tumbler, here.

See you in December for the final Minikins challenge for 2018!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

  7. Your tumblers are so cute. That lava lamp fabric is so fun, and I love the way you quilted it. Those zippers are cute, I'll have to check them out. I like that they look metal but are easier to work with. Thanks for sharing your project on MCM Nancy!
