I've been wanting to make a few boxy pouches for a while now!
I followed this tutorial, which is really clear and easy to follow. Apart from a few tweaks to the odd seam allowance and sizing (to suit different patchwork options), I stuck to the tutorial and am pleased with the results.
In true scrappy style, I made a 'quilt as you go' pouch, and some donated shot silk 'tumbler' scraps make up this more masculine pouch.
I thought these would make good wash bags, so I lined 2 with Rip-stop wipeable nylon.
This is a versatile pattern, which can easily be adapted to suit your chosen patchwork and function - I'm thinking a wash bag for a guy, a toy caddy for a child, or how about a longer thinner pouch to hold knitting needles!
So get your scraps out and get boxing!

your boxy pouches are so lovely, Judith. I especially love the manly one, such a great idea using those tumblers.
ReplyDeleteHi Judith! These are super! I have also wanted to make a 'box pouch' for a long time but never did. Your patchwork and fabrics are beautiful! x Teje
ReplyDeleteWonderful, those tumblers are gorgeous colours. It's a great tutorial, I've lost count of how many I've made!

ReplyDeleteFabulous! A boxy pouch has been on my 'things I want to make' list for ages, I'm going to have to bump it up the queue!
