Poppy I Spy – large<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I cleared out a box of acrylic templates that had been in my fabric closet for awhile. I wanted to be reminded what was in there. I was surprised to find some smaller templates as well the large ones I knew were in there. I am sure I had a plan when I put the small templates in the box, but I didn’t remember the plan when I found them. <\/p>\n

I still want to make a bag for large templates, but that is a project for another day. On that day, I decided to make 3 more I Spy pouches<\/a>, one for each of the template sets.<\/p>\n

I like to highlight a special fabric on the lining. I had very little of the Anna Maria Poppy (Bright Eyes??) left, so I decided to use one of them for this pouch. The last time I used this fabric was for the Andalusian pouch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This large I Spy will be used for the Mustang Purse Organizer templates. I made a set of these<\/a> for my Mom in 2021. I have a vivid memory of making them in my machine’s old location, which was before I redid the whole room.<\/p>\n

For some reason, I forgot to interface the pieces so I added a bit of the Sewfisticated 2mm stick on interfacing<\/a> right before I closed the turning pocket. It was a little tricky to get the paper off the stick-on side of the interfacing, but I managed it in the end. This interfacing is much thicker than the SF101 called for in the pattern, but it worked.<\/p>\n

The interfacing made the pouch very stiff. I top stitched around the whole edge. It made the pouch very structured and I kind of like the feel.<\/p>\n

I am also using some tags I bought for another purpose to label the pouches. Thus far, I have been relying on post-it notes, which are unreliable in this context<\/em>. All of the templates are engraved, but the words are hard to see sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
