Sometime ago I bought the frames<\/a> for the Retreat pouch. The Retreat pouch is a free pattern<\/a> from Emmaline Bags. The pattern, as I said, is free, but the frames are not.<\/p>\n

Over the New Year holiday, I decided I was going to make some bags, the supplies for which had been hanging around. The Retreat pouch was one of the bags I sewed.<\/p>\n

I started out with the small size, which is about 8 inches x 4 inches. I didn’t think the small size was tiny. Once cut out, this is not a difficult bag to put together. I was able to finish it in a couple of hours while I catted with a friend.<\/p>\n

I thought the installation of the frame was a little weird because the pattern says to remove stitches you have already sewed in order to install the frame. The pattern didn’t say whether to sew up the hole that I made, so I did.<\/p>\n

I just used a frame for the Sheffield Tool Bag<\/a>. That pattern<\/a> uses a casing to house the frame. Since I haven’t used a lot of frames in bags, I don’t know what is normal. I prefer the casing.<\/p>\n

I plan to use this pouch for my bag making tools. I might need to make the larger version for the tools as I have a lot of them, but I plan to make the larger one anyway.<\/p>\n

I found a video<\/a> that shows how to add handles and make some other changes to the bag while showing how to make the pouch. I have watched it, but I didn’t watch while making this pouch. I may add handles to my next one.<\/p>\n

N.B. on Frames: I still don’t have a good handle on frames. I know how to install them in a bag or pouch in a couple of ways, but I don’t know if different frames can be interchanged in different bags. I haven’t made enough bags with frames to understand them very well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
