Gift Pouches Complete!

Well I got the little purses completed for the 3 lovely sisters who donated clothes to my girls:



I was following the Flossie Teacakes tutorial which featured the covered zip ends.






This was a v.fiddly project and I'm not entirely pleased with the amount of bulk the covered zip ends creates in the top corners (& I only used 1 layer of wadding instead of 2 suggested in the pattern).



However, I was pleased with the finished size of the purses, and with an added wristlet to the design I think they turned out v.cute. 

Let's hope the 3 sisters think so too!

    Definitely cute! I think the covered zip ends are a really nice feature - makes them look super professional, so maybe worth the bother?

    They look lovely - I bet you will end up with a steady trickle of out-grown clothes coming your way if this is the reward!!

    I think the 3 sisters will love them! They are so bright and cheerful and homemade-- how could they not?
