One-Hour Project - Flamingo Pouch

 It's amazing what you can get done in one hour. I had to run a scan on my work computer, so of course, that meant I had a free hour (and a bit)!

My daughter asked for a little bag to hold some card games for an upcoming girls' trip that she, her sister and two close friends are taking. Of course, I had to do it!

The cards had a tropical theme, so I pulled out some Tula Pink fabric that suited it. (Daydreamer Pretty In Pink - Flamingos)

And here is the result - a custom-size pouch! 

The bottom is about a 4x5" rectangle, but when I boxed the corners, I didn't cut the flaps of the exterior fabric. Instead, I stitched the flaps done to give the bottom a bit of body. With fuschia ribbons inserted in the casing, it closes tight and nothing will fall out.




















Love the placement of that shrimp! It is lined with another Tula Pink - Zuma Glitter in neon pink.

The light fabric makes it easy to see inside the pouch, and here it is filled and ready to be packed!


The girls are off to Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) off the north coast of BC (just south of the most southern point of Alaska to do some rock hunting and glamping. Can't wait to see their pictures!
