Strippy pouches

I've been mostly working on large quilts for a while, so I wanted to make a small project so I could play with some already cut fabric strips. The strips was neatly stacked, but they occupied a lot of space on my cutting table. I've been wanting to make some small purses/bags with zipper for a while, after seeing a lot of gorgeous ones here in Blogland and on Facebook. I'm not so crazy about working with zippers, so I had to challenge myself and get to it :-)

Found this cute pattern over at Moda Bake shop called "Strippy Charm pouch".

I ended up making three pouches in two days, so this was not so hard :-) Easy to make stuff like this when the fabric is already cut, and fun too!

They all found new homes pretty fast :-) I love making people I care about, happy :-)

I'm working on a gorgeous quilt using this fabric line. It's the "Vintage Modern" by Bonnie & Camille. It's a secret quilt, but I'll post a photo of it when it's finished ;o)
Today it's my Wednesday off work, so I'll be spending some time in my sewing room between housework-duty ;o) 

Wish you all a Happy Wednesday!
