Turtle Pouch

I couldn't make a frog purse without a turtle one too!!



Here's the two outside pieces along with the lining fabric I picked out. I had a green zipper ready too!


Preparing the outside fabric and the lining to sew onto the zipper...


One side sewn onto the zipper...


Making the handle... (I used the grey fabric, but added a piece of the lining for color)


Outside panels right sides together and lining fabric right sides together  - ready to sew!!!


Now it is turned inside out for the grand reveal!!!



VIOLA!!!  Here is the finished pouch!!!

Froggie Pouch

"Rivet"


This little fellow is totally handmade. I drew him on green fabric with yellow for the eyes and tummy.


I cut out the funky circles from fabric I found for the lining and ironed it onto the black background. SHA-ZAM!!!


Here are the four panels for the outside fabric and the lining.



Here is the final project after adding the zipper, strap, and sewing it all together... It's magic!
