Thanks so much to all of you who posted a comment for the giveaway.
I love sewing/crafting & creating, but love giving them away even more~ so I'll have another one sometime soon.

Giveaway, Who needs a Pouch??

This is a follow-up to my Repurposed post. I completed one of my two pouches that I was working on. I had fun making this ... and it almost had a zipper, but became too difficult so I decided to add a vintage button & rick rack loop. It measures 5.5" x 6", perfect for holding small things: phone, keys, compact, Lip balm, etc..

Now it just needs a home :)

I'd love to give this to someone who'd like it, so... I'm having a giveaway! Just leave a comment in this post sometime before Wednesday evening(the 9th) and I'll post who the winner is Thursday morning.

Repurposed... from housecoat to pouches

This is what's left of an amazing fruit/floral print vintage housecoat. Since I knew wearing it was never going to be an option, most of the usable fabric was sold in bundles in my Etsy shop.
So this is what's left of it, plus two pockets. I've held onto it with the thought of turning the pockets into coin purses/pouches.

I've just recently started sewing again, I've been working on pillows... so I thought I'd get started on these too. I'm not sure which fabric I'll use to line them or of the design.
I'm not a pattern kind of girl, I think the last time I used one was in Home Economics(10th grade)~ the thought of them stresses me out! I wish I had the patience for them, but I don't.


Once I'm done, I'll post my finished work.
