Sample Sale time! Today this colorful patchwork pouch is available as a sample. Sold - thank you!
There isn't a pattern for this pouch, but this pattern shows how to make a similar pouch.
This is 8.25" wide x 4" high and has a 7" zipper opening.
The patchwork is pieced to flannel. The back side is lightweight denim. It's lined in a pink stripe print fabric from Riley Blake. The lining fabric is lightly quilted to canvas.

This is the extra large version of the Grocery Bag made from denim and Garden of Dreams from Amy Sinibaldi's Charleston collection for Art Gallery.
This bag is available as a sample today. Sold - thanks!

The next sample is also #12 from this document of pattern pieces, but in pink and green patchwork this time. This pouch has a minor mistake that you wouldn't have even noticed had I not mentioned it, but of course, I'm going to tell you so you know and also as a reminder to not make the same type of mistake yourself when sewing.
So the mistake is in the quilting of the green patch with the snail. The thread ran out when I was almost done quilting the patchwork and then I must have forgot to go back and finish the last few inches!
Bummer...it was sad to find this minor imperfection on this otherwise beautiful pouch. Anyway, a dab of Fray Check is keeping the quilting in check.
The back side and the lining are the same Robert Kaufman Railroad Denim fabric from the previous post.
Sold out - thank you!

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:

Here's another zipper pouch that was made while writing the Patchwork Glasses Case pattern and it is available as a sample. This was my first try at Size 2 and it is a little shorter than the final version in the pattern. This sample is sold (thank you!), but more are coming on Thursday.
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.

Next up for the sample sale is the pouch made while writing the instructions for Size 2 in the Patchwork Glasses Case pattern. (Sold)
The back is this fabric from Robert Kaufman. Using a stripe for the back (or lining) makes the quilting go faster!
