Tour des Fleurs - Double Exposure Zippered Pouch #3

I can't stop thinking (and talking) about

my new pattern for the

Double Exposure Zippered Pouch!

Today I'll share a new version,

something with a completely different look.

For this pouch,

I've used some gorgeous fat quarters

from a line called Tour des Fleurs,

designed by Mary Jane Carey of Holly Hill Quilt Designs.

I chose a few favorites from this lovely line,

and put them together with this

beautiful cotton ric rac, 

in just the right shade of red.

I wanted to show the versatility of this

Double Exposure Pouch pattern.

Instead of accenting the exposed zippers with lace,

you can leave them plain,

or add ric rac or ribbon trim instead.

I really enjoyed stitching the ric rac with

some matching thread.

If it's too hard to find the right shade of thread,

you can just use invisible thread to apply the trim!

The interior fabric is a pretty paisley print.

I like the plain vanilla zipper

with these colors and designs.

{I'm not kidding - it's actually called Vanilla, shade #121, from Zipit on Etsy.}

Once the bag was finished,

it was time to collect some items

for storing inside the two pockets.

First I found some tools for measuring and marking.

{That little silver tool set in the back is my favorite...tiny screwdrivers that are so handy.}

On the other side,

there was plenty of room for my box of Clover clips,

plus some specialty feet for my sewing machine

and my straight stitch throat plate.

{When I'm using that one, the standard zigzag plate is stored away.}

It's amazing how much stuff can be zipped away...

and yet it doesn't take up much space

when the pouch is folded in half.

So there you have it...

yet a different look for the same pattern.

I'm sure there will be more coming.

I truly enjoy dreaming these pouches up!
