sunday sewing and a few winners

I got caught again ... last minute sewing.  My daughter is at a birthdy party this afternoon and I didn't get around to making this little pouch until ... hmmm ... a few short hours before the party.

But I got it done - and photographed - and had fun doing both.  I wasn't worried about getting it finished, I was worried that something horrible would go wrong (the snap cracking when I hammered it in place - which would require a lot of unstitching and an entire redo of the flap, the iron scorching - always a disaster ... you know something weird and unpredictable that tends to happen when you're in a hurry). 

Happy to say it was all smooth sailing. :)  I made it to hold a gift certificate.  Much nicer than an envelope, wouldn't you say?

I've made a few of these earlier this year.  I got the pattern from Pinterest.  Click here to find the pattern pin and here to see my other versions of this cute little pouch.

Now I have a bit of housekeeping to take care of.  I've had a few giveaways lately and although I already contacted the winners, I didn't announce them here.  So congratulations to:

Donna S. for winning the Miss Kate bundle from Simply Sweet Fabric,

Sigrid G. for winning the $25 Gift Certificate from Shabby Fabrics,

and Diane K. for winning the Perennial Beauty bundle from Fort Worth Fabric Studio.

I have another giveaway coming very soon - hopefully this week - stay tuned! :)

Well I love this little pattern, but cannot figure out the pattern because it is in Chinese. Please, Please post it in English I have read through the comment and several people would like them in English. I know this is an old post, but this is the first time that I have seen it If I had figured out the pattern, I would be happy to share it with others.
