Squirrels in Love Pouches
This is the project I alluded to yesterday:
I wanted to make something little and Valentine-y for the update, and I had zipper pouches on the brain from the other day. I decided to go with the woodgrain, since it's a great fabric and I have a good bit of it, and then gocco a design in white onto the fronts.
So, squirrels in love it is! I'm really big on that heart-shaped acorn.
They are lined in a strawberry-red cotton with tiny white polka dots, and have a fray-resistant zipper pull made of the same:
I think these would be just the thing to slip a Valentine into on the 14th...and then it will hold your Valentine's pens, small notebooks, and lipgloss/chapstick for the rest of the year!
Hi!
I'm Italian, and I've discovered your wonderful blog just some days ago. You are such a creative girl! I find your work lovely.
I wonder if I could buy your fantastic "SQUIRRELS IN LOVE POUCHES"...I'd really like to have one for me and one for my boyfriend!
Do you send them online?
It would be great to have them!
Oh...there should be a shop like yours here in Rome...
Goodbye!Hope to hearing soon from you!

Fab purses! I admire anyone who can sew delights like these, especially anything with a zip.(I have to work in poppers until I master the art!
