Scrappy QAYG

When I saw Svetlana/sotakhandmade post her quilt-as-you-go tutorial last week, I was reminded how fun qayg can be. But when I saw her qayg pouch tutorial (with metal zippers!) the next day, I knew I had to give it a go. And with the need for a couple of handmade gifts, it was perfect timing.



My pouches are both about 8 1/2" tall X 10" wide, so they are generously sized. Plus what a terrific use of my scraps and a fun diversion from those bigger projects waiting patiently on the sidelines.

Linking up with Scraptastic Tuesday and Fabric Tuesday.

  5. Love those pouches with their metal zips - must give that tute a go! Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday. Hmmm wonder if I could cut up one of hubby's old suits for a manly pouch with metal zip - would he notice?

  8. Just the thing I need to get me motivated to spend time putting my sewing room together enough to sew something. These are adorable! Love your colors.

  11. I like the angles you used in the piecing, they give a lot of interest. I agree, it's a fun way of whittling the scrap pile!
