Zakka style sew along!

hello and happy monday!

today marks week 2, of the zakka style sew along, and i am so happy and excited that today starts the week, to make your own version of my house pouch!

this is the original version, and the one that i contributed to the book, but the sweet little design and concept behind the house pouch, makes it easy to customize colorwise, and with as much or little embelishments as you want.

one window version, with a button flower lattice and rick rack trim.

hand stitched window and flowers, vintage fabric roof.

love versions i made in febuary, with a scallop tile roof, embroidered heart flowers, and heart shaped windows.

the house pouch sew along, is being hosted by the super talented Amy, on her sweet blog "during quiet time", be sure and hop on over, as there is also a giveaway going on!

i cannot wait to see all the versions of the house pouch that are being created, and i truly cannot think of a better way to start this week.

The house pouch - love edition

hello!

this post is a bit late, but here nonetheless.

i wanted to share with you the Valentines ( or love ) edition of my little house pouch, that i made a few days ago.

this sewing project is really simple, you do not have to have advanced sewing skills at all, to be able to make your own version.

what you need for this project is available in the book, along with a detailed directions, including instructions on attaching a zipper, which is how i add my zippers to all my bags, so if you are tired of having funny looking, or angled corners, this is another reason to buy the book!

house pouch tweek 1- after having cut out the fabric pieces, instead of round "windows", i cut my felt scraps in the shape of hearts.

tweek 2- i alternated between button flowers, and hand stitched heart flowers. you can always have as many or few flowers along the little house pouch, it is up to you.

all done.

here is version no.1

and version no.2

so sweet.

i would love to see someone elses version of the house pouch! feel free to email me a link or picture, so i can have a look: simbiosis_etsy at yahoo dot com
