I finally made something for myself.<\/p>\n

This is the Bluestem pouch pattern from Sew Sweetness. As mentioned when I made the pink one recently, it is part of Minikins Season 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I plan to use this pouch for my pens, post-its and other bits an pieces that I take to guild meetings and Sew Day.<\/p>\n

I decided on the fabrics as part of the latest President’s Challenge at the guild. I have had some of the Chrysanthemum fabric for awhile, but I got another piece for my birthday<\/a>. The goal of the President’s 2024 Challenge is to get people to ‘use the good stuff’. I have been trying to do that, but it is difficult. When I started this pouch, the day had come to do it.<\/p>\n

I am taking the President’s 2024 Challenge a bit farther in that I am also using the fun zippers I have been buying. I really like those rainbow zippers. The new zipper pulls also look great.<\/p>\n

I used the orange stitch fabric, because I like it. I have used some of it, but also tend to hoard that particular print. I decided I could enjoy looking at it as I used the pouch just as well as when I came across it in my fabric closet.<\/p>\n

I remembered to put a label on the lining before I sewed the lining together, which makes me smile.<\/p>\n

I am struggling a little with covering the inside raw edges. Still practice makes perfect, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
