zipper pouches

Use 'em or lose 'em from Elaine Adair Pieces

I've had this collection of small mola patches for years, then misplaced them, and voila, recently found them. Decided to make them up into little pouches before they get misplaced again. They are very primitive on the backs, but the quality/skill of the fronts is most impressive. They are all made by reverse applique, far better than I can manage, and are probably from Panama or Columbia - wish I had a few more. The colors are far prettier in person. I added jewelry charms to each zipper pull.

The polka dot journal cover needs a few more practice ...

Feather Pouches from Quilts + Color

I made these 3 zipper pouches from the pieces left from a jacket I made years ago. The fabric was already quilted.
Making things like this is always a great way to get back into quilting and sewing when I have been away from it for a while.

Still More Zipper Pouches from Quilts + Color

These were made from Fairfield Cotton Classic batting I painted. I layered organza over the batting and quilted the sandwich with metallic thread.
I made a vest from the fabric and these were done with what was left.
