{Sew} Modern Monday #23



It's time for another weekly dose of modern sewing finishes!

{Sew} Modern Monday at Canoe Ridge Creations

The other day, when I was making my way through quilty/sewing blogland, I came across this blog post from Amanda of Ms McPorkchop Quilts. 

it may or may not have been that rocking pink bow that first caught my attention. :) 

Totally inspired by all her yummy handmade things, I have decided to do the same.  My goal is to have lots of homemade pouches/cases to take along on my trip to SLC for The Sewing Summit in October.  Yay!  It makes me giddy just thinking about it! :)

First on my to-sew list this weekend was a little pouch for my laptop (which will most definitely be coming along with me!).  I opted to a clean, simple look and incorporated one Amy Butler print along with Kona Ash and Kona Snow.

One purple zipper and a little sewing later and I was done!

To add a bit of jazz, I lined the pouch in a contrasting Kona.  Love!

I am still contemplating adding a bit of hand stitching along the zipper.  Any thoughts?

And there you have it.  One laptop pouch ready and waiting for October! :)



Now it's your turn.  Have a recent modern sewing finish you would like to share?  Then link up!  

But please, remember--this is a link-up for finishes only.  If you have a work-in-progress post you would like to share--then hold onto it for a few days.  Lee from Freshly Pieced has a wonderful linky party on Wednesdays completely devoted to all those works-in-progress.  

If you need a reminder on all of the rules for {Sew} Modern Monday, head on over here!

  11. Oohhh how pretty! I think a little bit of hand sewing, almost like a line of hand quilting in fun pearl cotton would be fabulous!
