Cute huh?

Shame on me, I meant to spend my day cleaning house, right after I finished the little cupcake pincushion… but noooo… I was having too much fun and just had to make one more little in the hoop project!
Isn’t that just the cutest little pouch? It’s not quite big enough for a makeup bag, but it would be awesome in your purse to hold small items.
The pink fabric in the background is my lining fabric. I added the motif to the front, it’s one of the designs built into my Bernina 830.
Some of you asked about the embroidered rik-rak, so I took a close up picture of it…;)
it really stitches out nicely!
Here’s a link to the project. You can also purchase the embroidered rik-rak separately!
I didn’t have anything but metal zippers in my stash, so I had to pause the machine when it came to the zipper, and advance the stitching to either side of the teeth, then when I was finished I carefully sewed over the teeth by advancing the hand-wheel manually.

And one more…
This one’s for my mom, this is the size I was after. I’m going to pick up some more fusible fleece and some nylon zippers… these are too much fun!

I need to stay off of your blog. You keep giving me new fun things to make. My summer is filling up quickly.
CJ - I love looking at your projects! They are so wonderful! The batik wallhanging is beautiful too. You are trully a talented seamstress:)
cute, cute, cute. I LOVE this one................BIg time.....or should I say small time?
Cute cute cute
Those are so cute. I want to make some as gifts. Can I do these on the Bernina 630?
CJ, You HAVE to send Zippy these pictures! She would love to post them on her site. The colors, the designs, the fabrics -- way TOOO cute!
OMG, how cute is that? Love it, love it, love it! The pink and brown are so hot right now! Polly
That's a nice size to use for jewelry for travel or just for storage in the drawer.
I love them! Way better than cleaning house .... LOL!
CJ: What size hoop did you use for this project? Thanks!
CJ - These bags are cute! Are you aware of the Make A Zipper rolls of zippers? I think it is about 5 yards of zipper with 12 pulls attached...you just cut it off to the size you need and it comes in many colors at www.nancysnotions.com.
I think the oval hoop of my 730 would only make the small and medium size bags. The large one is like 3 mm too large in width, dang it! claudia
