I received an email about an update to the Cleary Carry All Pouch pattern by Minki Kim. I had forgotten that I'd purchased the pattern o thought I would try it out with the new Gray Work by Tula Pink that I'd just received from Sew Hot.

As Seal the Deal is a directional print, I even cut the outside panel in half and put a seam in the bottom before quilting the panel. I used the edge of my walking foot as a guide so it's about a 1/2" grid all over.

I love the stripe for the binding and the leopard print vinyl from Studio 7T7 is a great match along with the random parrot label from Kylie and the Machine 2024 advent calendar. The method used to box the corners was new to me, apart from having used it on a tote bag. I felt this section was glossed over in the YouTube video and instructions, so I did unpick the last bound seams and just did a regular boxed corner.
Today I am stitching over Facebook Messenger with my daughter Lizzie. We are both making a Clam Up pouch - a By Annie pattern. I have my quilted panel ready to go.
