2-pocket pouch bag

This is a perfect & practical project to use some special fabrics

The wonderful thing about this project is that you only need small pieces of fabric. Use some scraps and special pieces from your collections.
You can also use some wadding to make it a bit thicker if you’d like
NEEDLES in various sizes. The size depends on what fabric or threads you’re using. I often use Sashiko needles as I use thicker fabrics, but embroidery needles are great too. I say use what you have, experiment, see what works.
PINS - glass headed and fine sharp point are good. As well as safety pins for basting your quilt. You can get special quilt pins which are slightly curved, but regular safety pins are ok too.
THREADS Again this depends on the fabric that you’re using and the process with which your quilting / stitching. Read my blog post here for what I like using.
Tape measure and scissors (sewing + embroidery).
You can stitch this project entirely by hand or use your sewing machine; it’s entirely up to you.
THIMBLES really help a lot with slow stitching, especially if you’re using thicker fabric. I suggest you try out some different ones and see what you like best. But I’ve found that a harder plastic on my ring finger and a soft plastic on my thumb. Some people like using a traditional metal thimble, some like using a leather one.

You’ll learn how to make a pouch that folds over on itself to create 2-pockets. One is the outside and one becomes the lining pocket.
I also talk, in all my courses, about tapping into your own creative voice to make something that sings you.
While I offer the how-to and the pattern, I encourage you to do it your own way.
