Remember this picture?
Last month I signed up to participate in a super fun swap, called Sweet Pouch Swap. I have read about it before on one of my favorite blogs Sew Delicious, so when Ros from Sew Delicious collaborated with Alyce from Blossom Heart Quilts to bring us Sweet Pouch Swap round 2, it was on! I, quite literally, set up on alarm for the time Alyce said she will post the sign up form and made the cut! I’m a little obsessive like that.
Alyce paired all of us up and we were to send our partner a hand made pouch filled with sweet goodies from our country of residence (Taiwan in my case). My partner Toni from Sew Jereli lives in Australia and is a fabulous sewer (sewist? seamstress? person of a needle persuasion?) So after stalking her blog, I knew that I had to make something special and hope that she wont check my inside seams, because hmm have you seen her gorgeous tips on how to finish seams?
Toni has mentioned that she likes teal/greeny blues and liked modern designs and geometrical prints, so I went on a search and found a fabric that I thought fit that description. I also thought Toni looked like a kind of a girl that would like a fold over clutch.

That is gorgeous Alisa… must get around to locating my zipper foot so I can do different pouches. x

Lynne, I didn't use a zipper foot here, just threaded carefully with a regular foot. Don't let that stop you, pouches are such "fairly" quick and rewarding projects.

Looks great, Toni will love it, it is very much her style!
Toni-Maree @ Sew Jereli says

Jane from Lil Pip says
