The Tadpole is a pouch that I bought as part of a 4-pack with the Cosquilla<\/a> pattern last June. I am glad to say that this isn’t the first time I have made a bag from this 4-pack. <\/p>\n

\"Carrie's<\/a>

The Tadpole (weird name, I know) is a useful pouch with two pockets that can secure scissors, rotary cutters and other similar types of tools.<\/p>\n

\"Tadpole<\/a>

One pocket is on the top and the other is on the bottom so you have to kind of flip it around to get at both zippers.<\/p>\n

One of the pockets includes a small internal zipper pocket. This pocket could be added to both of the larger zipper pockets. I am not sure what I would put in that interior zipper pocket, but I do think that, generally, the more pockets the better. In this case, that might not be true if I were to put something in there and then lose it or forget about it. I look forward to seeing what Carrie says.<\/p>\n

\"Tadpole<\/a>

The pattern includes a scissor sheath. I bought Carrie a nice pair of scissors to go with the pouch and the sheath can be customized to fit the scissors. I wanted to do that, but I didn’t want to open a new pair of scissors. I am not 100% sure the sheath is very useful with sharp scissors. It is definitely cool to have a matching scissor adornment, but I am concerned that sharp scissors will cut through quilting cotton. I might make the scissor sheath out of cork or pleather scraps in the future. It wouldn’t match, but it might be useful.<\/p>\n

I made this first one in the fabric I use for Carrie, the Carrie Bloomston Color Theory fabric. I was able to use some smaller pieces, which was nice. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
