New Pouches on the horizon

It was quite an unusual day around here in that I managed to complete TWO projects! We (meaning Thia and I) started our day off wandering around Walmart finding things for Grace and her big night tonight. (Grade 7 recognition!) It is surprising how time consuming that kinda thing is! We even had to find shoes for her as the ones that we thought would work, won't. I bought 2 of each thing and we will see what doesnt work and then take those back. I sure hope something works!! She's so picky and sensative that who knows.... Anyways, back to 2 completed projects... This first one is made using some fat quarters that I got at the satin moon in Victoria. I just adore the print and colours! The pouch is made super handy by 2 inside pockets and a wrist strap that is securely sewn in place with triple seams. I was on such a roll from finishing that pink and green one that I just kept sewing! I had purchased a charm pack a few weeks ago and just loved all the colours in it. At first I thought it would make a beautiful baby quilt with chenille as the alternating squares.
That idea got replaced with this one rather quickly. I cut the charm squares in half and sewed them back together. I just adore the way it turned out! It took a total of 6 squares including the handle. I put two pockets layered in this one for bankcard /id type things. I really like the way the light blue zipper turned out. At first I was going to use a light pink one but opted for this blue instead and I am sure glad that I did! The lining fabric is some quilting stuff that I liked with this pack, it did not come with the charm packs:)
Just look at the way those seams matched up! I am so happy with the way this turned out!
