Back in January, I was invited to a “sew-in” and I know myself far too well to think I’d be able to actually sew instead of talk the whole time, so I decided to start a project that required several steps before the sewing process. I chose another triaxial weave, with the tumbling blocks pattern to put on a Filigree Double-Zip Pouch. At the time, I hadn’t really thought about the colour selection too much, but being finished just in time for St. Patrick’s Day seems very fitting, doesn’t it?
I used exactly the same tutorial as I did for the Blue Calla Clover panel. I blogged about the weave here, if you’re interested in links to the tutorial and tools I used.

You may remember I used these fabrics before. I made the Hanging Cosmetics Bag from the Craftsy Class Sew Sturdy Travel Organizers. The fabrics are from the Amy Butler collection, Violette, for Free Spirit. I didn’t have quite enough for the body of the bag, so I used an orange from Cotton and Steel.

I chose the Sew Sweetness Filigree Double Zip Pouch because I really love the freedom with the front of the pouch: it’s a clean slate, and the perfect size for a feature. I also just hosted an Instagram swap for the same pattern, and it was really fun seeing everyone do amazing things with it.
That looks lovely. I’ll have to try it myself
Thanks Patricia! I do hope you will try it yourself!
