anna pouch in magnolia and carkai
Well hello!! Happy Wednesday to you all!
Lately I've been trying really hard to stay away from many, many new fabric lines coming to market at incredibly fast speed and work mostly from my stash instead. And you know what? It was pretty fun and I drastically reduced the amount of fabric I own, yay!
Did I ever tell you I don't like having too much of anything, including fabric, in my house as it makes me feel all overwhelmed and unable to concentrate? Yes, there's definitely such a thing as too much of a good thing for me. I reduced my stash to about a third of what it was a few years back and I love it. I do an occasional "stash enhancement" of course, but I try hard to choose only the fabric I love and have a plan for.
So, when I came across Amy Sinibaldi's Magnolia print from her Charleston collection I knew right away it would be perfect for a new Anna pouch.

And it really was. I totally love how this pouch turned out. The tiny checks I used for zipper bindings and tab are from Amy's Les Petites collection.
This is such a fun little pouch. Actually, it's two pouches joined together to form one and is a perfect size to keep little items in one's purse organized and contained. Or, it could make a super lovely coin pouch.
And then, because I somehow seem unable to make just one of anything these days, I made a second Anna in Carolyn Friedlander's Carkai fabric.
I love how both these pouches turned out and will definitely be trying out more fabric combos in the future. Here's a link to the pattern for you in case you'd like to make a pouch (or two) yourself :).
Wishing you all a very happy and creative day. Svetlana
