Friday Night with Friends...

 ...has come around again, oh so quickly! Many thanks to Cheryll for hosting our gathering again - you can see who else joined in here

My plan for FNwF's was a new project - this zip around pouch from Bad Banana Patterns which has been tempting me for some time.

To try out the pattern I wanted to make something for me and so I chose some of my precious stash of pansy fabric. Here is the quilted piece that makes the top and bottom of the pouch.


At that point, this happened!


So I had to down tools and help stack. An hour later and I was back with the sewing.

I thought I had a picture of the two circles cut out and the zip inserted into the side panels but obviously not! Anyway, that is how I left it for the afternoon and I spent the evening quilting and working on my swap hexies for the month.

This afternoon I got the pouch sewn together and the seams bound and her is my finished pouch!








It's not a good afternon for photographs - wet and horrid outside. I am very happy with this pattern - a few tweaks I will make next time but there will be a next time!

So I am looking forward to seeing what everyone was up to yesterday and will be back soon.
