Patterned Jewelry Pouches

This project grew out of a conversation I had with Joelle about how to use these brilliant old fabrics in a portable little project.  Sounds simple right? Well, the two of us took the most convoluted, wrong way around route to the super-simple project.  I don't know how it happened, but it took like three days to come up with this laughably easy pattern.  We sweat so you don't have to!

Okay, anyway, it all started with this batch of cotton prints from Windham Fabrics and In the Beginning. They are, from left to right:  Circa 1870, Garibaldi Collection (currently available only at Purl Patchwork); Yellow Feather, Empress collection; Orange Flowers, Lancaster County collection; Purple Mulberry Mix, Jo's Collection; Orange Stripe, Lancaster County collection; and Pin Stripe Dot, Fall River collection.

I'm really pleased with how interesting these prints look together. Colors that I wouldn't necessarily expect to look so great together turned out to be really interesting. I love them!  -- Isabelle
