Hooray! I finished the newest Cosquilla.<\/p>\n

I know I said I was sewing this pouch quickly. I really was and I actually finished it on August 13. However, I had a lot of other stuff to post. I put this pouch straight into use then I didn’t post about it.<\/p>\n

I am pleased with the other two Cosquilla pouches, but I think this one is my best so far. I was very calm and not in a hurry when I sewed it. I took my time and I think this is the reward. <\/p>\n

Cosquilla Zipper Pocket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wanted to highlight the seahorse, but it’s head is hidden by the zipper placket on the pocket. \ud83d\ude41 I also wanted to cut off the snake, but it’s head is still visible.  Oh well. At least it is a pink and purple snake.<\/p>\n

Cosquilla – seahorse surprise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The seahorse is a pleasing surprise when the pocket is opened.<\/p>\n

I used two different kinds of vinyl on this pouch. As mentioned<\/a>, I thought putting the Floral Reef vinyl over the busy Floral Reef print would mean that I couldn’t see either clearly.<\/p>\n

\"Cosquilla<\/a>

I considered different fabrics to use for the binding. Overall, I think the Tula Pink purple (Aster??) Tiny Dots works very well. The purple doesn’t quite match the zipper. They work together well anyway.<\/p>\n

Cosquilla -Floral Reef side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had some clear vinyl, so I used that over the pocket and the Floral Reef vinyl for the side main panel. I still think the motifs on the fabric and the motifs on the vinyl interfere a little with each other, but it isn’t too bad. I’ll have to think about that when I consider buying other printed vinyls.<\/p>\n

\"Cosquilla<\/a>
Cosquilla #3 – handle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I think I probably should have put some SF101\/ProFuse on the handle, but the handle won’t get much use, so I think it is ok. <\/p>\n

I am so pleased with the binding. I used the HP2 foot again and sewed slowly. It was a little short, so I added a straight of grain piece, which was a little problematic when sewing. Otherwise, machine sewing the binding worked very well. I am not embarrassed with how it looks.<\/p>\n

I think this was a good fabric combination to use for this pouch. I wasn’t sure how I would use the fabric once it arrived. Seeing it in use when I need a handbag zipper will make me smile.<\/p>\n
