Congratulations to all of the weekly winners, and thank you to everyone who entered their pouches in the #notionspouchSAL! I loved every single pouch--truly there were so many outstanding pouches that it caused me actual distress to have to choose--and I'm so grateful for your support and for inviting me and my pattern into your sewing rooms over the last several weeks! I’m going to miss the sew along, but I'm excited to see what all of you will be stitching up next!



Grand Prize Winner!

The pouch that I’ve chosen as the winner is one that I couldn’t get it out of my head--the vintage camper pouch by Cindy @freida_fritz. My retro-loving heart is in love with this amazing pouch--and bonus sweet floral pouch! I think Cindy got a lot of our imaginations going with her creativity! Photos are from Cindy's Instagram.
