My favourite of these is the Field print - which takes the form of a series of hatched lines forming irregular shapes that interlock into each other. Into these I've mixed some highly useable basic and blender prints. These are now available in a new range of colours from relaxed denims to brilliantly burnt oranges, the prettiest pinks and palest greys. You may recognise the foxes, horses and story prints from their previous incarnations. I'm more than a little excited to see the line arrive in fabric stores at long last.Īs a starting point for this collection - I returned to a few of my very favourite prints from past collections. It's been a 15 month long wait since I handed in the artwork for this group. This month finally sees the release of yardage for my new fabric line - Meander. If you're stuck for ideas there are plenty more projects to entice you here. I hope this post starts up your imagination to visualising what you can make from this collection of prints. Again, it also works well for all kinds of other storage scenarios too. This one is a three dimensional clear pouch that works perfectly for organising sewing tools and notions with the added bonus that you can see what's inside. The final project for now is my Boxy Clear Pouch. The cover is the perfect way to use a fabric you really want to showcase - I used my horses print in the orange colour way from Meander. The top pocket layers flip up to reveal the contents of those beneath - making everything easily visible and accessible. It's best described as several pouches as one and is especially excellent for keeping small items together neatly. My Flip Pocket Folio has already become one of my most used pouches for storing materials together. It's a generously size pouch that open wide and best of all has a very minimal list of requirements - Two fat quarters, interfacing, fleece and zipper. I cannot get enough of this pattern! Love making it and using these for everything from sewing tools and projects to toiletries, pens, sock knitting and more. Top of the list was more Pop Open Pouches. As you might imagine, the list was long and time has been in short supply but I've still managed to make a sizeable dent in the sew-it-right-now list. I'm hoping this one keeps you busy until then.Īs soon as I had handed in the artwork for the Meander collection, I began planning and dreaming up all the projects I could make from it. It's going to be another long wait until the next pattern arrives (if ever). Meander is in shops now (or will be soon depending where you live). I put a lot of thought into the prints for this group - I wanted designs that would mix and match well for making projects like this one. I made up these samples using fabrics from my newest collection for Moda Fabrics called Meander. There are two zippered pockets - one each side of the pouch that will hold a multiple of additional tools/pens etc. The zipper allows it to open into a wide basket shape when the pouch is in use. The Side Saddle Pouch has many attractions - It is sturdy with a spacious box shaped interior. Although I could have rushed this one out about 18 months ago, I know for certain that the pattern has matured well over that time. I like to create with purpose and only put out patterns that are well thought through and will stand the test of time. I've made multiple versions in that time and wanted to make sure the instructions and illustrations were as good as I could get them. The Side Saddle Pouch is a pattern I've been slowly working on and finessing over the past two years.
