Again, this week at work was pretty crazy, including a quick trip to the East Coast.   I was ready for the weekend!  Running errands and a bit of shopping Saturday, I made it to my sewing space this morning. 

My partner for the Pretty {Little} Pouch swap likes Echino.  So fun.  I wasn’t sure what type of pouch I’d make.  I poked around on the internet for ideas, and ended up using this tutorial: Gathered Clutch.  I love how this turned out!  I followed the instructions and added both the divider and the side-by-side card pockets. 

 

I will say that the gathers in the front don’t look all that great.  And when sewing the exterior front and back together I must have misjudged the layers with my stitching because when I turned it all right-side-out there was a hole.  Oops. 

Its not exactly perfect. 

But I think it is pretty.
And its little. 
And its a pouch.

I love these swaps!
