Liberty Rainbow Pouch

April 14, 2025 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

There’s something magical about Liberty Tana Lawn fabric, and when paired with a rainbow of soft pastel hues, it creates a pouch that is both beautiful and practical. This week in my studio, I stitched up the Liberty Rainbow Pouch, a delightful blend of Liberty Capel prints in all the colors of the rainbow, combined with cream polka dot linen for a charming contrast.

Benefits of sewing with Liberty Fabric

Liberty Tana Lawn is a dream to sew with. Known for its fine weave and silky-smooth texture, it offers a lightweight yet durable finish, making it perfect for special pouches. The fabric drapes beautifully, presses well, and adds a luxurious touch to handmade accessories. Whether you’re storing sewing notions, cosmetics, or small essentials, a pouch made from Liberty fabric feels extra special.

The Liberty Capel print is a timeless classic, featuring delicate floral motifs that add elegance to any project. Its subtle yet sophisticated design works beautifully in patchwork, blending effortlessly with other prints and solids. The pastel version of the Rainbow Pouch showcases Capel in a soft gradient, creating a gentle transition of colors that feels fresh and uplifting.

If you’re new to sewing with Liberty fabric, I’ve shared some helpful tips in my blog post on sewing with Liberty Tana Lawn, which you can find here. From choosing the right needle to pressing techniques, these tips will help you get the best results when working with this exquisite fabric.

The Rainbow Pouch is not only a joy to sew but also incredibly useful. Its compact size makes it ideal for organizing small items, and the zippered closure keeps everything secure. Whether you use it for travel, everyday essentials, or as a thoughtful handmade gift, it’s a versatile addition to any sewing collection.

One of the things that makes my patterns unique is their accessibility. Each design is beginner-friendly, with clear instructions, well-photographed steps, and detailed diagrams to guide you through the process. The Rainbow Pouch can be completed in an afternoon, making it a satisfying project for both new and experienced sewists. It’s also budget-friendly and scrap-friendly, allowing you to use small fabric pieces to create something truly special.

If you love Liberty fabric and enjoy quick, rewarding sewing projects, the Liberty Rainbow Pouch is a wonderful way to bring a little color into your creative space. You can find the pattern in my Pattern Store and Etsy Shop. Do you prefer a bold, vibrant rainbow or a soft pastel one?

A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun look A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun looking back at where I was in 2016 and how far life has come since then. Swipe for a little trip down memory lane.Back in 2016, my priorities were firmly centred around family. I was working full‑time, sewing in the guest room, sharing tutorials on my blog, and slowly dipping my toes into selling a handful of patterns on Etsy. It was a busy, full season — and creativity was something I fitted in around everything else.  Fast forward to 2026… I’m now retired and living the creative life I once dreamed of. My kids have grown up and are living in their own homes nearby. My husband and I are free to travel, explore, and enjoy this stage of life. And I get to spend my days designing, sewing, and connecting with this beautiful community.Life looks different now — in the best possible way.Were you following me back then, or what has changed for you over the past 10 years? I’d love to hear your story too.Tagging the lovely makers of my quilt: @arabesquescissors @ministryoffabric @belloquacity @alittlepatchwork @sameliasmum coleandtaffy @quiltymamaof4 @shequiltsalot @downgrapevinelane @lizzierosesews @lovethatfabric @sew_mimi.k #2026isthenew2016 #10yeartransformation #sewingjourney #sewingcommunity #aspoonfulofsugardesigns

If you’ve ever wanted to add eyelets or grommets t If you’ve ever wanted to add eyelets or grommets to your sewing projects, here’s a quick look at how I install them using my DK93 snap press. It’s the same tool I use for snaps — and it makes installing eyelets beautifully quick and consistent.For this Ribbon Pouch, I used the Liberty Gifts from the Garden collection (printed on Lasenby cotton and released in January 2026). The colours and motifs pair so well with the little ribbon tie detail.Here’s how to install the eyelets:Punch out the four holes using a hole‑cutting die.Place the eyelet into the hole.Press it into place using the snap press.That’s it — easy peasy, and it gives the pouch such an elevated, professional finish. I love how clean and sturdy the result is.Fabric is Gifts from the Garden by Liberty - kindly provided by @regent_street_fabrics — thank you!If you’d like the Ribbon Pouch pattern (it comes in 3 sizes), comment RIBBON and I’ll send the link straight to you.Ribbon Pouch Sewing Pattern: available in our Pattern Store and Etsy shop ( links in profile).#SewingInspiration #SewingProjects #Eyelets #Grommets #SnapPress
The Twirling Treasures Hot Pad & Placemat Set show The Twirling Treasures Hot Pad & Placemat Set showcases one of my favourite FPP designs — a stunning kaleidoscope‑style block that always turns out beautifully. Kaleidoscope blocks are some of my most popular FPP patterns, and this set is such a fun way to use them.  This set includes six sizes, making it incredibly versatile: use them as hot pads, trivets, placemats, or simply as a way to add a pop of colour to your kitchen.For these samples, I went with a monochromatic scrap‑busting approach, pairing fabrics from the same colour family with a low‑volume background. The black‑and‑white striped binding adds such a crisp, modern finish. It’s a wonderful project for building your FPP confidence — and a fantastic way to use up those treasured scraps.The Twirling Treasures Hot Pad set is our Pattern of the Week.
