More Making

Jackie and I managed lots more "what can we try next?" making today


We made a 'Tiny Box Zippy' each, although they aren't tiny - certainly big enough to be useful!

We finished frame pouches that we started yesterday

And we made triangular coin purses - these *are* small enough to be called 'tiny', and pulling a zip-pull off the zip teeth and then putting it back on was a bit scary!

Now Jackie has gone :-( abandoned me.  We've only got to wait until Easter when we'll meet up again - anybody got any ideas as to what we should make next?



Some bloggers seem to be missing off sections of instructions and / or measurements, so for my own sanity:

• the strip added in photo 14 of the triangular coin purse measures 7 x 1.5 inches, and have the zip slightly open when you sew the last seam closed.  we use fusible fleece on the outer fabric

• My framed pouch frames came from U-handbag, £3.75 a pair.  They measured appx 10 x 3" (actually 15" long) so the bag had to be cut 15.5 wide x  required depth (we used one piece of fabric not two, and cut to 15.5 x 15.5")  The zip needed to be >16"  We used fusible fleece on the outer fabric, and fusible interfacing inside the frame channels.  We box cut a 2" square (2" to the seam) and tried to remember to leave a turning hole in one lining side seam
