The triple Zip Pouch!

I was visiting some of my favorite blogs and discovered that many of them are participating to a Triple Zip Along, when I saw the beautiful creations they have done, I decided to participate.
In this sew along we will create a pouch with three zippers, I love the idea. The instructions are on Debbie's blog,
"A quilter's table" and are excellent.

Here is the one I did


I tried to combine this Triple sew along with a course I took in craftsy, and that is why I finished this project, almost at the last minute, let me tell you.
The first step in this triple pouch is choosing fabrics, I started selecting these fabrics.




But I was taking an online course in Craftsy, the course is called Stupendous Stitching with Carol Ann Waugh.A course that fills us with inspiration, I'll write here her description of the course:

Set your sewing machine and imagination free in this fun exploration of embroidery designs, decorative sewing machine stitches, couching and binding. In Stupendous Stitching, you’ll learn how to incorporate all kinds of stitches into your next fiber art project.

Here I give you the link in case any of you want to have more information.

Was thus that I decided transform one of my fabrics:
from this
 
to this
 
 
My final selection of fabrics for making my pouch
 
 
 
It is not necessary to participate in this Triple sew along to get the tutorial, here I'll give you links to Debbie's blog.
The tutorial is divided into three parts
 
The first part is here
The second part is here
The third part is here
 
 
and thanks to the collaboration of Marci from Marci Girl Design, there is now a new tutorial where she explains a different way to finish up those pouches
here is the link
 
 
The first tutorial to make this triple zip pouch was made ​​by Debbie last year and always left me wanting to participate, the link to the first tutorial, complete, all in one post  is here on her blog A Quilter's table
 
 
What I did was print the first tutorial she has done in August last year, and then complete all the information with the other three tutorials that she created this year.
 
The flickr group where all participants are adding their photos are here
 
I can assure you that you are going to be delighted watching all these beautiful creations, you will find not just any photos, there are also discussions, links to other sites, really interesting to visit.
 
I think I have given a lot of information, I hope you find it useful.
Here I leave you with more pictures of my triple zip pouch.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
I hope you liked my Triple Zip pouch, always remember that I love to
receive your comments, it is you who give me the inspiration to create.
 
Have a happy sewing day!

What is a blog hop?

A year ago I started this blog and since then I am always learning something new, lately I discovered something new to me, is the world of "blog hops".

In my search for information I found a site where this is well explained, is Linky Tools, at that site they explain the following;

-A blog hop is a linky list that is shared on multiple blogs.
-When several blogs put the same linky list code on their blog, the exact same list appears on each blog.
-Blog visitors can submit their entries on any blog that contains the list. The
entries will appear on each blog where the list resides.
-Blog readers see the same list on each blog, and can "HOP" from blog to blog seeing the same list of links to follow: BLOG HOP!

If you want more information this is the link.

I think that it's a great way to discover new blogs and maybe to find new bloggy friends.
It was while visiting the blog of my great friend  Maria, that gave me the curiosity to find out more about this topic. There are now some blog hops that interest me and that I want to share with you.

There is a blog hop already started on 21 November and that runs until 30 November the participants are making some  beautiful pillows, I will add here the button




I was surfing online from one blog to another trying to  find the pattern to do this pillow, until finally I found it here , at the site of Jillily Studio.




The other blog hop is this;
 

 
 
To find the various tutorials to make pouchs you have to go to the Flickr group,
the link is near the bottom of her post. When  you are on the Flickr page, you will
find under the photos, a blue text that says Recommended tutorials, click there and
you will find several tutorials to choose from.
If you want to make a pouch, this is the place to share your creations.
 
 
 
Finally there is another blog hop and the information is on the site of Daryl, a dear bloggy friend, is in Patchouli Moon Studio's blog. This blog hop is in December, this is the link I invite you to visit her blog for more information, I also want to mention that Daryl will give a giveaway when she reaches 300 followers, and only is missing one!
 
 
 
 
 
 
There are still things I do not understand, one of them is how sign up to
participate, perhaps there is someone that can give me a little more information
about how this works.
Meanwhile I'll do the Holiday Lane Pillow  and I will enjoy the beautiful creations
made by the participants.
 
Have a happy sewing day!
 
Marisa.
