Scraps in the Frame!

This week I'll be teaching Framed Purses at my classes.  Here are some variations I have made as class samples:

P1070328

The rear purse is made from a free sample of deco weight fabric and a scrap of tweed!!  The front purse is made from the leftover triangles cut off flying geese blocks!!  I keep triangle leftovers in a jar!!

Next up, I drafted a paper pieced 'geese' template, and made the pouch using teeny scraps for the geese and Essex Yarn Dyed Linen for the rest.

You will see that I varied the shape slightly of this pouch, extending the corners further.

And finally, an EPP 1" hexie pouch, again using tiny scraps.

The templates for all of these pouches are for a 2.5" x 6" metal glue-in frame.

I hope my ladies enjoy making these pouches this week!

  2. These are beautiful, I especially love the shape of the grey one. And such a cute jar for the scraps. I also covet your pincushion holder, no poked fingers from pins going through the bottom. I'm glad you shared these for scraptastic Tuesday too.

  4. Oh they will certainly love making these. I still do. They are fast and fun unless you want to get more complicated with the patchwork, which makes them perfect for whatever amount of sewing play time you have available.

  5. I love those purses and wish I was close enough to come to the class - I have a frame but haven't yet got round to making the purse to go in it...it'll have to go on my FAL list next quarter!
