Hi friend! Happy Wednesday! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Richele Christensen with this super fun storage pouch idea! Read on for all the details and enjoy!

Hello friends! Everyone loves a great pouch and these are so beautiful using the Tim Holtz Palette Collection. Many of the sizes are even Fat Quarter Friendly. The smaller pouch I’ve made uses the Palette Multi Ephemera fabric, it’s one of my favorites for an instant patchwork look with out all the work and I love the soft muted colors. The Hemingway Pouch is by Center Street Quilts and is one of the easiest pouches I’ve made. The instructions are very clear with lots of photos and illustrations. So grab your favorite fabric, Tim Holtz Palette Fabrics of course and get started!

Gather your supplies and cut out the pieces according to the pattern.

Prepare the pieces for quilting. Here I’ve used a spray adhesive to adhere the layers together with Soft and Staple batting.

Mark your lines for quilting. The is quilted with a 1 1/4” grid on a 45 degree angle. This is one of my favorites but you could do anything.

Quilt with a sewing machine or you could hand quilt if you’d like.

Cut the angle as instructed.

Add the binding to the inside right sides together.

Fold the binding over the raw edge to the front and topstitch 1/8” form the edge. Attach zipper by adding one side of the zipper and stitching 1/8” from the top edge. TIP: Use glue stick to hold your zipper in place.

Slide the zipper pull onto the zipper. Leave the zipper open for turning.

Add the binding to the raw edges. Fold the binding over the raw edge and topstitch 1/8” from the edge.

Turn your pouch right sides out and fill it with your favorite supplies, a book reader or treasures. I can’t wait to see your Hemingway Pouches. Thanks for stopping by and happy sewing!-Richele
