Crocheted Mobile Pouch

Hi
Back with another pouch:-).....this time with a crocheted one though!!. . Vibha desperately tried to find a pouch in the market for her new smart phone, but was unlucky as the salesman said that it was a new model and the pouches was not available in the market yet. As she has very buttery hands, i was a little worried too.

So i finally decided to crochet it. As i was crocheting it,my husband suggested that i add a soft backing to it too. I lined the pouch with batting and soft cotton.
I did attach the velcro for the opening too..
I have used only single crochet for the body of the pouch and Double crochet for the flap.

Vibha loved it. Did you???

Until the next post.......
Happy stiching

Zippered Pencil pouch

Hi
My sincere apologies to all my friends who have been supporting me and encouraging me in this blog world. I have been out of blogging for more than a year due to personal commitments. Two of my blogs friends did not ever give up on me. When ever we had a chance to mail or chat , they have been asking me if i was doing anything new. Thanks to them, i have started again:-)They are the wonderful talented bloggers NIMA and Lakshmi.

My daughter is off to the college and will not use those pouches which she guarded till her schooling. She feels it is very kiddish. I agree too!!!But what i don't disagree is the way she just drops those pens and pencils in her bag. It is all over her bag. I thought i will sew her a pouch to organize her stuff.

I have followed the tutorial of HAND BAG POUCH from Two Little Banshees.
Since i did not have thick fabric, i have used two layers of a single fabric to give the sturdiness
It just took not more than 15 minutes to complete it.Loved the look of it.



THANK YOU KATE FOR SUCH A EASY AND CUTE TUTORIAL
