Welcome to the Bello Pouch Sew Along! This sew along is hosted by Michelle Graham. Over the past year, the sew alongs have been hosted in the Sew Sweetness Facebook Group; however, we’ve decided to move the sew alongs to my blog so that all viewers may participate. Here are the scheduled events:
- Pre-Sew: November 15th – December 1st, 2020
Gather supplies (if you are interested in using ribbon for your pouches, you can find those here). - Week One: December 2nd – December 9th, 2020
Cut out fabric and attach to interfacing
Make Handle
Make Zipper Panel - Week Two: December 10th through December 16th, 2020
Finish the Pouch (if using ribbons, ribbon will be attached at this time) - Wrap Up: December 17th through January 3rd
Post photos of your finished pouch to be eligible for prizes
If posting your pouch to Instagram, don’t forget to use hashtag #bellopouchsewalong
Michelle has created a pattern hack for this project. Michelle’s instructions are for adding handles, a crossbody strap, or a wrist strap to your pouch. Download the pattern hack instructions by clicking here: Bello Pouch Pattern Hack: Handles, Crossbody Strap, and Wrist Strap
I would love to tell you, that you are the first to inspire me to become a bag maker!
My first project all started this April when the Covid-19 stuck me at home. I am unemoyed from my previous job. So I had to recreate myself. And your Olso Craft Bag got me started down this new path! Since August I open my shop on Etsy!
I hadn’t had my sewing machine out in 7 years. Thank you so much for getting my new creations started, and a new beginning in my life!
