Last Project of the Year

引っ越しに備えてそろそろミシンと裁縫道具を片付けなくてはならないので、大急ぎで今年最後の裁縫仕事。鞄に入れるポーチを作りました。
この時期は天気が悪いと一日中真っ暗で細かい作業はあまりよく見えないのでかなり適当になっております。
布は、前に作ったポーチと同じ、外側はスエード調のビニールで、内布は青緑。

I needed a new pouch to keep in my bag so I made one, rather hurriedly before I have to pack my sewing machine.

The fabric is the left-over from my Clematis Wristlet: faux suede for exterior and teal cotton for lining. #5 zipper for the main opening and #3 for the pocket.

I could not press the faux suede so that's where my sloppiness started. Plus the weather was nasty out so it was really dark even in the early afternoon (the daylight in December/January is VERY short in England. I can't imagine living in Scotland this time around...). Even with all the LED lights in the room (there are 8 in this room), it was still dark to work on a dark fabric so my sloppiness continued.

Yup, there are thread bunching up on the bobbin side and I left them as is.

I wanted this pouch to have a wide opening so I used a wide mouth zipper pouch tutorial from Noodlehead for that.

So this is the last sewing project of 2018. I am going to pack up my sewing machines and other stuff today. No more fabric purchase and no more pattern purchase (well, except for PDF patterns...). Let's hope that my sewing machines survive another international move safely.
