I have signed to some very interesting project for first time -
Sweet pouch swap! I heard about this kind of swaps for first time but I had no doubt that I'm in! A few days ago I received email from swap's host with my partners details so I spent wonderful weekend sewing and preparing sweets. Actually, this weekend was pretty full because on Friday I started to sew pouch, then I went to meet my friends and after a great bowling and billiard games I came back to home to sew pouch till 3:30 AM. How crazy it sounds? :)
Next morning I woke up early and saw flowers I haven't seen since I was a little kid - ice flowers!
Here are some sneaky peaky photos are here:

For sewing I use very old mechanic sewing machine - it belongs to my boyfriends grand-mum. |
|
Sometimes I am wondering how beautiful are both old sewing machines I usually use |
|
In late evenings my friend makes tea for me in cozy cups. On this one are a lot of kitties and written - "You're one in a million" :) |
|
I have sewn just a few times. I applied as beginner, but acctually I am pre-beginner. Sorry for not letting you know, Ros... |
|
SOMEONE will receive pouch made from these two wonderful fabrics! |
|
And here are ice-flowers on window. I love them so much! Since I haven't seen those for years, I felt excited like a little kid :) |
|
SOMEONE will receive some of these snacks from Latvia! Let's see how much tasty and sweet things Latvia's post will allow to send.. |
Thanks to Ros for organizing this swap. I hope that my pouch receiver will glad about my work. This was the very first pouch I made :)
More photos with pouch I will post after a while - when my swap's partner will receive it's package.
By the way - after I sewed pouch I felt that I have earned something tasty. So I prepared lunch. This is my favorite meal - pasta with meat, sweet and sour sauce, soy souce and fresh herbs. Look, how delicious it looks! :)
Very cute little pouch! I am sure someone will enjoy those sweets!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carla! I hope so! :) Everyone loves sweets so if my partner won't like my pouch, hope she will like sweets at least :D
DeleteGreat Job on your very first handmade pouch!! It looks lovely. I have also joined the swap - it is my first time to participate in a swap also. I know this will be so fun!! Cinda
ReplyDeleteThanks Cinda!
DeleteIs your pouch already done? I can't wait to see all pouches from this swap! :)
This is so great experience for me :)
That's a lovely little pouch! I am in the swap, too, and just saw Ros post your preview. I can't wait to see all the different ones (and to receive mine, from where ever it is coming from)!
ReplyDeleteYour pouch looks cute :) I think it's wonderful that you sew using an antique machine! I'd love to try a project on an old machine one day... they just look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to make a start on my pouch this weekend!
