Sew and Stow Project Pouch

March 28, 2024 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

Sew and Stow Project Pouch was designed for sewists and crafters just like you who love to have a hand sewing project with them when they are away from their sewing room. I love to take a project with me when:

  • travelling on holiday
  • on a car trip
  • in waiting rooms
  • when watching TV on the sofa
  • when watching a sporting game
  • and more!

For this version of the Sew and Stow Project Pouch, I gathered some of my treasured pretty Japanese florals designed by Atsuko Matsuyma. The colours in these fabrics make me happy!

I also had the perfect package of green gingham bias tape in my stash that I purchased on vacation last year in Japan.

In lieu of an integrated tape measure, I used an iron on embroidered motif of a strawberry which coordinated with the strawberry print I used on the zippered side of the pouch.

I had the cutest little strawberry zipper pull in my stash. Perfection! I used a continuous zipper is lovely white and peach stripes, and rose gold zipper teeth.

For the hourglass patchwork panel, I used pretty florals in shades of yellow, pink, green, aqua, red and orange.

I quilted it on either side of all diagonal seams.

The Sew and Stow Project Pouch is a sweet project that can be easily made in less than a day. Pretty and practical – my favourite kind of project.

Head to our Pattern Store or Etsy Shop, to purchase the 13 page ePattern to make your own Sew and Stow Project Pouch. Please tag me using the hashtag #aspoonfulofsugardesigns or #sewandstowpouch I would love to see what you create.
