I actually made two. One will be for a guild swap. I thought I could probably make the pouch after watching the video, but decided to buy the pattern, the <a href=\"https:\/\/centerstreetquilts.myshopify.com\/products\/stella-pouch-pattern-pdf-digital-quilted-zipper-pouch-easy-and-beginner-friendly-pouch-pattern\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stella Pouch from Center Street Quilts<\/a> just to make the process a bit easier.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64719\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64719\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PR-20241106_165741_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-64719\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PR-20241106_165741_wm-sm-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"Stella Pouch for Laura - vinyl side\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PR-20241106_165741_wm-sm-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PR-20241106_165741_wm-sm-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PR-20241106_165741_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-64719\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stella Pouch for Laura &#8211; vinyl side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I looked for more specific directions on the Flying Geese and the vinyl, but didn&#8217;t find any. Even with the pattern, I still had plenty of figuring out to do. I knew I could do it. That is one reason I enjoy making bags. There is always something to figure out.<\/p>\n<p>I think I forgot to trim the height, so the pouch is taller than the pattern states. Still, I think it will be useful. Small project bag?<\/p>\n<p>One of the good things about using vinyl for this bag is I was able to use a very pretty lining fabric. Having a good fabric show through the vinyl is an added bonus.<\/p>\n<p>I made a pattern in EQ8 for the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Stella-Pouch-large-FPP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flying Geese portion<\/a>.
