FO: Padded Pouch

Over the past weekend, I worked on a padded pouch... which was just pieced together with leftover fabric from this bag.

Pattern: none... just went with the flow
Fabric: Amy Butler remnants for the exterior, white sueded fabric for the interiof
Notions: poly/cotton batting, ribbon

I wanted the pouch to be medium size with pretty much a square bottom, and ended up with a pouch much bigger than what I originally wanted but it'll do for now.

Can you see why I wanted a padded pouch right away? I told myself I couldn't use it until I had a "case" to protect it.

Now it has room to fit my point and shoot, Fuji Instax, and my new camera! I was in such a rush and had a difficult time sewing through all the layers that I didn't care if my stitches were wonky and all over the place.

I created 2 "handles: by stringing  a piece of ribbon through each side. I did this so I could carry on my shoulder if need be. For next time, I'd make it smaller, add an interior patch pocket and add interfacing. (I totally forgot the interfacing and then was too lazy to go back and add it... I really wanted to finish!)

The back view is not very flattering... I think the angle of the camera's weird... I promiss my hem isn't that uneven. :P  Have a beautiful day!!

Travels: NYC



I recently ventured to the Big Apple to just hangout with friends. It was my first time there, and I loved every minute of it! It's great to have public transportation or just being able to walk somewhere. I did have a little bit of spare time to run around to some sewing places, but I'll review those in individual posts.

One thing I miss are all the wonderful places to eat!! I wholeheartedly recommend all these places. However, these are not representative of all my favorite places...

Not that you would be interested or would even have the time... but if you do, the rest of my 900 or so photos from the trip can be found here. ^__^
