Zippered Box Pouch



Couldn't resist making these Easy Zippered Box Pouches by Melanie Ham
after viewing a video on Youtube!  Easy pattern and not much fabric. After reading the directions,  the zippers were the only item I needed to purchase, so I dug in my sewing cabinet to find if I had the zipper to fit the pattern.  Wahoo! I did have two zippers  that matched the fabric!  Plan to give these bags to a friend's two little girls for the "Treasures"!




I know they will remember that I collect owls, so I hope they know that I made them especially for them.

Versatile Wave Interchangeable Purse Pattern

  Just loved the pattern for the Versatile Wave Interchangeable Purse Pattern, by Susan Rooney, that I found at my favorite quilt store.  So here the deal.  You make one basic purse and then the outside pockets are changeable (reversible) for a whole new bag!  Load of pockets, which are a must in my book.   The directions are easy to follow complete with illustrations.  I even made button holes!  Amazing!  Quilters Don't Do Buttons or Buttonholes!




Won't it be a kick to have a Halloween, Fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas purse!  Oh my I could get carried away, but then there are the button holes!
