Notions Pouch Sew Along!

Hello Stitchers! There was a lot of interest in a sew along for my quilted notions pouch pattern, so let's do this! We're going to keep the sew along short and sweet, just like this little zippy bag! The SAL will run for one month, from February 19-March 16. That will include three weeks of sew along and one week for the wrap-up and grand prizes.

The first thing you'll need is my Quilted Notions Pouch Sewing Pattern, which is 20% off from now until the sew along ends, yay!

(You will also need either a 6" or 8" zipper, everything else you will probably be able to find in your stash!)

I've got some incredible hosts lined up:

Week 1 February 19-25

Heidi @FabricMutt

Minki @zeriano


Week 2 February 26-March 4

Cat @tincatsew

Stephanie @sissybellesews


Week 3 March 5-11

Mary @SunnyDaySupply

Kim @robotmomsews


Week 4 March 12-16

Wrap-up and prizes on my blog and Instagram!

Here's what you need to do!

1) Follow me @retro_mama and all of the talented ladies above on Instagram, and consider following the hashtag #notionspouchSAL too so you can see everyone's projects, posts, and giveaways!

2) Post your photos on Instagram with the hashtags #notionspouchSAL and #retromamapattern to participate and be eligible for prizes. Please be sure that your account is public so we can see your projects, and I would love it if you would also tag me @retro_mama to be sure that I don't miss your photos! You may enter more than once if you make more than one notions pouch.

I will be blogging each week with a tutorial (including the patchwork version in the first photo), inspiration, and more info about the giveaways. I'm so excited to see all of the creative and adorable pouches that you will be sewing up!

In the meantime, grab your pattern now, gather up your favorite fabrics and notions, and get ready to sew!

Happy Stitching!
Kim

  2. I would love to follow your blog and QAL but trying to read the pale gray font is impossible. You young girls have fun! Cheryl

    1. I agree. I am really struggling to see it and really have trouble locating the links. They are practically invisible.

    2. Thanks for the feedback! I'm not a wiz at tweaking the blog template so I'm looking into getting a little help with darkening the text color :)
