Another pouch started - Japanese style

I loved the last pouch so much and the BORO bag I made that I decided to combine the two and make a mallet BORO ouch.

I have decided to only make it half size. About an A4 size.

I laid out the little patches of Japanese fabrics and started to stitch.

The backing is covered in Hexies..

Red pouch... RED, RED RED...

Stitching plastic is a bit tricky as it sticks to the machine bed.
Easily fixed.
I placed a sheet of telephone book paper under the plastic as I sewed. This made it slide s o easy.
Then when I had finished the paper just tears away.
Here I am biding the top and bottom edge of the plastic to fish the edges nicely.
The zip also is easier to fit onto the binding edge too.

My pouch is all done and is a great size.

It is a good size and having the plastic at the top you can easily see what is in there.



And here is my new pouch ready to use... 

I am still keep in theme with Angela @ Socrappy for this month is RED.
