It’s time to link for the first Le Challenge! I love this idea – link up anything created in any medium to do with the theme. This month, it was Geometrics. I love geometric patterns – the clean lines soothe my creative soul! This month I doubled up with making an angel pouch for the Sweet Pouch Swap – apologies to my partner that it’s taken a while as I’ve been a bit distracted getting Jonathan ready for preschool! But here it is, and today I will go buy sweets and send it!
My partner likes chevrons and teal/turquoise, so I picked out some Fat Quarter Shop BOM scrap HSTs (all the flying geese bits get sewn together as I go) and the grey and white spots is also leftover fabric. Some scant seams (the best I’ve ever done I believe!) and mini chevrons later, and voila! Even the inside is getting in on the chevron action.
I had a bit of an issue sewing it together – broke a needle next to the zip! But it’s a nice and roomy 6.5″ x 9″ and will fit a few yummy treats to send off to Hawaii!
