With only two weeks until Christmas, I am busy making zippered pouches as gift bags. The pattern for these pouches is from Marcela’s Purse. There are a couple of more pouches on this site that I plan to try out. Marcela posts great tutorials.
I had purchased some OdiCoat gel coating to make the fabric water proof. I decided not to use it for these pouches. The process of coating would add time that I do not have to get these pouches completed. I will try the gel coating on some other bags at a later date.
For now, I am busy making personalized bags. My brother has two adorable and very spoiled dogs, Atticus and Humphrey. I used some paw print fabric to make a doggie treat bag and some scarves for the two furry characters.
I have a few more pouches to make before I can start filling them. Busy, but happy times.
Wonderful!!! I like the scarves! FUN!!
I’ll have to try out Marcela’s pattern!
Am interested to here more about the gel coating …
Happy Quilting (or bag making)! 🙂
I may try one bag with the gel coating. I ordered a two zipper pouch pattern like the sample pouch I saw in the store. It had the coating.
No surprise that you are making pouches! Hopefully the ones to be used as gift bags can be recycle every year!
I used non-Christmas fabric hoping the bags can be useful throughout the year. I will add some seasonal tags to spruce up the pouches and spread good cheer. They are the perfect size for gift cards and small items.
I understand about spoiled dogs 🙂
