Here is a progress shot of my latest project. I ha Here is a progress shot of my latest project. I have combined patchwork from Misty Morning range by @zeriano for @rileyblakedesigns with blue chambray. Love the pretty palette in this range - pink, yellow, green, aqua, blue, peach. Brightly coloured florals, grid, fruit, and more!

In this project I am using continuous zipper by @sewquirky for the internal pockets. I love the stripey zipper tape that can be easily cut to size. Swipe to see colours in the range. Stay tuned to see the finished project.
