Nightingale pouch

 

We were impressed by the array of Nightingale Pouches by Centre Street Quilts  so having purchased the pattern, Lizzie decided we would do another sewalong over Facebook Messenger. She works a nine day fortnight so has every other Monday off. Lizzie received her bundle of prequilted fabrics last weekend when her Dad visited her and Matt in the UK, so it's time for me to starting prepping ready to sew on Monday.


Whilst browsing my Tula Pink stash I came across a forgotten scrap bag of Tula Pink from Olive & Flo Handcraft. I marked out the correct size for the quilted panel with washi tape on my cutting mat as a guide.

I was surprised that the scrap pack yielded a large enough panel for the outside of the pouch. Most of the fabrics are not ones I have in fat quarters so it is very varied. I quilted the panel using a Karlee Porter Graffitti quilting digital design called pearls and feathers. I am now ready to sewalong with hardware and binding in black and white. This weekend I need to clear the decks and finish the dress I am amking.
