Hi!
The season of giving is a beautiful time for creating handmade to give. It just feels such a pleasure to make things to give. I have been enjoying making small gifts lately and here is one to show.
I made this fold-able zip pouch for a friend who will be leaving to go back to our country soon since she has already finished her study here in Canberra.
Her character is full of femininity and I thought it just suits her with pastel colours. Again, a fabric from Nordika by Jeni baker was picked to mix with faux leather. (I made a tutorial on Nordika Tote here)
It is a very simple zip pouch but I made it longer in length so that it can be foldable. I also put the magnetic snap closure prior to sewing the sides together.
I love the simplicity of this pouch and am sure it will always be on the list of my handmade gifts in the future.
I hope you all had a great holiday and soon to welcome 2014! I am excited to welcome 2014 and looking forward for great stuff to come! Will be updating soon with more little gift just before we celebrate 2014…..yooo hoo!
XOXO

Great Pouch! I love the soft pastels you used, timeless combination. Your friend will love this.
I have never tried to sew with faux leather before. Do you need any special needle/machine for it?

Amiita!! It’s so pretty! I just love your style! Is the faux leather thick or pretty thin compared to leather?
