This pretty piece of patchwork is intended for bigger version of this shape pouch (no pattern):
But it might end up being a coaster! Or maybe I'll make another one. We'll see.
I'm still on my quest for sewing the perfect zipper/zip pouch. Making them from these thick patchwork pieces added some new considerations.
It's probably time to sew now, but if you are dying to make the bow, I wanted to give you a quick update--it's coming soon! Look how totally adorable it is on this Granny Tote:

Today this piece of out-of-print Heather Ross fabric is available to a new home. Sold - Thanks!
This mermaid print is from her Mendocino collection for FreeSpirit (2008).
I've been hanging on to it with the best of sewing intentions, but after 5 years I'm going to accept the reality that I may never get around to making good use of this fantastic print.
But maybe you could use it? Or just put it away as a collectible print. Some of these fabrics become worth quite a pretty penny if they are desired and hard to find.
This piece is 21" along the bottom, 11" up the right side, 13" across the top, and 19" down the left side. So not quite a fat quarter.
Sold Out

I've been making more bows. Not sure when I'll have this one done. The pieces are unique shapes that I haven't work with before and it is taking me a while to get them just right.
At the end of last week I felt like making a basic tote bag. So here it is:
This fabric is called Pop Garden from Michael Miller. The handles are a print from Denyse Schmidt called "Daisy Mae Bricks".
It has one inset pocket in the lining:
There isn't a pattern for this bag and it's unlikely there will be one. But I will have something for the bows soon!
