Patchwork Box Pouches

November 17, 2016 By Katie

For workshops this season I thought it would be fun to refine our zipper skills with projects that utilize invisible AND regular zippers.

Sew Katie Did | Seattle Modern Quilting and Sewing Studio | Patchwork Box Pouches WorkshopAn Invisible Zipper Pillow workshop was a no-brainer.  Pillows as you know are my go-to, and an easy way to add a little sparkle to home decor.  Students satisfy the sewing bug by walking away with a finished pair or more in the daytime class, wine dependent in an evening workshop;)

For regular zippers I wanted a project that was utilitarian. I thought boxed pouches could be a stand alone gift or a more personalized ‘wrap’ for something special.  It’s also a ‘two birds, one stone’ thing for me since I can have samples and gifts made while on the clock.  For last season’s box pouches I upcycled some patchwork pillows and a QAYG tote that I’d grown tired of.  So this year when I dug through the drawers of unfinished projects I came up with these three beauties waiting to come to their full potential.

Sew Katie Did | Seattle Modern Quilting and Sewing Studio | Patchwork Box Pouch WorkshopI’m drawn in again to the colorway of these half-square-triangles, and since they’ve made multiple rounds on the design wall here and here it’s nice to see them find their place.  The panels came together quickly and I decided on quilting them horizontally and vertically along the seams.

I simply cut and pieced some of the half-square-triangles to bits, made strips and sliced them into this deliciously textured Mochi Chartreuse linen.

I replaced the batting in them all with Soft and Stable.  For backing the panel’s quilt sandwich I use a lighter duck cloth that I get at Joann’s.  It’s lighter weight than most and pretty pliable.

Happy 37 days until Christmas Peeps!
