PLPS & PAL FINISH!

Frame Pouch Along
{all prior Pouch Along links can be found here}

A two in one finish!  I had intended to post this pouch on Friday to complete our Pouch Along week...but instead I decided why not share it on Sew Modern Monday instead?

PLPS Round 3 Final for my Partner

As my regular readers know I signed up for the Pretty Little Pouch Swap this round and was delighted when I was accepted to join!  If you've read over the last month or then you know I have tried a few different pouch designs with different fabrics and shapes.  While stalking my partner and scrutinizing the description of her pouch request I kept going back and forth about my final design.  But here it is!!!

I ultimately went with the beloved combo of natural linen (Kaufman Essex - amazing stuff!!!) and Echino prints.  I wanted something simple but still unique.  So instead of just going with a flat front I tried playing around with adding in a front pocket.

And I couldn't resist an Echino selvage detail in the back!!!

I still hope to continue adding to and improving the Frame Pouch Along.  So if you are interested in providing your design tips or learning from scratch do join in and visit the Flickr group!

Linking up to Sew Modern Monday.  Check out everyone's modern finishes...

    I already told you this, but I think it needs to be said again. I love your pouch and its little pocket! Too bad I wasn't in the swap so I could have a chance at it. :)

    I love this pouch! I really, really want to make one. I would be tempted if I had a frame. Does the glue hold with use?

    Love the way the bright fabrics contrast with the linen. The pocket is a great idea!

    The linen, the Echino, the pocket...sigh. How much would I have to pay to bribe the organizer to arrange for you to be my swapper? LOL I just love your little pouch, and I'm really getting inspired to try this. Gotta get my tutorial done for my blog, and then I think I'm good to go! (If you hear cries for help, you'll know I hit a bump in the road! Heehee!)
