August - Across The Pond Sew Along - Cutlery Pouches

Have you missed me? I'm rejoining the Across The Pond Sew Along!
{Since I've gone back to work fulltime, I've cut back on monthly commitments.}

The Patchsmith has selected Cutlery Pouches as this month's theme. She has taken this table decor project to new heights, adding seasonal applique details! Visit her blog post for more innovative ideas.

Find another sweet Christmas pouch over at Susie's Sunroom. There's no need to stick to the rectangular shape. Susie used wintery scraps to make a mitten-shaped pouch!

You might have seen the Flatware Pouches {and matching placemats} I've made from Terry's Fabrics home dec prints, featured in this post.

Yesterday I managed to whip up a new set of flatware pouches, using regular quilting cotton and a touch of lace.

I used 1/2 yard each of two coordinates
from an older Moda line by 3 Sisters...
Aster Manor.

{Pretty for any season, actually!}

{Like The Patchsmith, I added fusible fleece to the back of the outer fabric, to add stability.}
