Sample Sale - Zip Pocket Pouch Wristlet Size 2 (Sold)

It's Sample Sale time!  Sold out. Today's sample is Size 2 from the Zip Pocket Pouches Wristlet pattern.

This size is the larger of the two sizes in the pattern. This size was added to the pattern not long ago, so if you have this pattern but only have one size, get in touch with some sort of proof of purchase and I'll let you know how to order the updated pattern for only the price difference. 

The fabrics used for the exterior are a print called Spring Bouquet by Sandy Klop for Moda and a light weight denim from Robert Kaufman. The inside is a patchwork of quilting cottons. 

This is quite large--at least for my patterns--and the main pouch is big enough for items 7.5" x 10" and up to 0.5" deep. Below it is shown with a composition notebook in the main pouch and a few other items for size reference:

Sold - Thanks!

Sample Sale - Zip Pouch with Pull (Sold)

The next sample (sold out - thank you!) is a zipper pouch made from perhaps my favorite fabric from Robert Kaufman's Railroad Denim collection.  These fabrics aren't named, but this is CXC-14112-62.  There isn't a pattern for this pouch, but this is template #12 from this document of zipper pouch pattern pieces.

You might also recognize this pouch from this blog post about making the zip pull.

The pouch also has a coordinating fabric patch on the front.  Guess how that is made?  The same way as the zip pull, which is the same basic idea as the Cord Keepers.  So many, many uses for making things this way!  This is the fabric used for the pull and patch.

The back side is plain:

This pouch is very padded.  I think it has two layers of batting on each side like the Patchwork Glasses Case pattern.  But the details are slightly hazy because the pouch was sewn long before making the pull! 

The lining is two prints pieced together:

Sample Sale - Padded Glasses Case (Sold)

Here's another zipper pouch that was made while writing the Patchwork Glasses Case pattern and today it is available as a sample.  Sold - thanks!

This was my first try at Size 2 and it is a little shorter than the final version in the pattern.  

It does fit these readers that are 5-3/8" at the temples.  My sunglasses with a width of 5.5" at the temples work ok, but it's getting to be a tight fit. 

The lining is something from Moda (I think...), the exterior front fabric is Spring Bouquet from Moda and the back side is Essex Yarn Dyed Homespun--another very nice fabric from Robert Kaufman.
