A Twist on Science

You may have seen pictures of my subject pencil pouches, in particular the SCIENCE pouch. That one is by far the most popular.


A week or two ago I was asked if I could put a different word on the side of the pouch, instead of SCIENCE. After come conversing, we decided I would make a custom pencil pouch that said CULINARY instead.



I found some groovy purple print fabric for the lining. I like the way it came out and it sounds like she did too!

Another Quilt to Distract Me

Last time my excuse for not doing much for my Etsy shop was because I was making a quilt for my niece-to-come.

This time around I don't need to use the quilt I'm making as an excuse. I've managed to not only work on a quilt for my little-one-on-the-way, but I've been making new products.


Clockwise from the top left we have:
It's been really fun to work with my new embroidery machine. Things are so much neater and get done so much faster!

Testing A New Product?

My Etsy shop and homework have been in a lull lately. But I have good reason! I can't share it yet, but on Monday I will. You'll just have to trust me for now. :)

But, I did whip up this super-cute zipper pouch on Sunday night. The pattern is from Indie House. I did make some small changes, and I plan to make more. But the pattern was free and super simple to do!

Here is the completed pouch.


One change I made was to not have the raw edges exposed on the inside near the zipper, you can see that below. I also serged the corners (and should have surged the other open seam you can see below too).


The problem is, now what do I do with it? It's an odd size. About as tall as my lip balm.

I could use it for holding an apple? That fits pretty well, but I didn't use any padding, so it would roll around and likely get bruised.


It also fits snacks quite well. Now that I have a baby growing inside of me, I usually have a variety of snacks on hand to feed my hunger.


So, besides it not having a purpose yet, I really like my little pouch! I plan to add a handle to one and an tab to the other and make it a more pencil-y size. Also, I'll embroider some witty statistical/mathematical design on to it. But for now, I just have some cuteness.
