TGIFF - Plover Pouches

In November, I purchased a kit when I was at Sewtopia Anaheim to make the Plover Pouch pattern from Noodlehead.  I finally got around to making the pouches at Sewtopia San Antonio last month.  The kit had enough fabric to make all three sizes:  small, medium, and large.

This is the small size.  I did not install the decorative snaps on any of the pouches.


This is the medium size.  I did not include the interior mesh pocket on either the medium or large sizes, but I did include the zippered interior pocket.


My large version is a bit floppy.  For some reason, I thought I read that the fusible fleece was optional.  Oops.  In any event, the pouches are still functional.


There is some fabric left from the kit, so I'm going to make another one or two -- using fusible fleece 😊.

TGIFF - Oxbow Tote

Although I purchased a kit from Sewtopia Anaheim to make the overnight size of the Oxbow Tote pattern from Noodlehead, I didn't end up using it as planned.  First I changed the lining, then the exterior fabric....and before I knew it, I ended up making the regular size and not using the kit.

I love this cotton canvas I had in my stash.  I still have a small piece left for another project.


I used a cotton canvas for the lining and skipped the interfacing.


I used foam stabilizer and quilted a 2-inch cross-hatch grid on the exterior.  I used vinyl for the exterior pocket and bottom.


I'm happy with my finish and will definitely make the overnight size using the fabric kit I purchased. 😉
