Esk Retreat - Zippy Pouch Swap

At the Esk retreat last year (at Twilight2Twilight) - we decided for 2023 that we would make a swap present - we wrote our name and fabric choices on a piece of paper and we each drew a name.

My giftee was Tracey B (there are two Traceys in a group of 6!!!) and she noted: "Lori Holt, Kaffe, Bright".

I went with Kaffe Fasset.
I added a matching pincushion.

It's a long story - the recipient ended up being Donna 
and she also loves bright & colourful.
She was very happy with her pouch.

My swap partner was Maureen and she made me this lovely pouch.

Plenty of room for a project - it's long but easily folds over - and the pattern can sit in the clear pouch so I know what is inside. . .

And, it just so happens to match a needlebook that she gifted to me in our Christmas Advent Swap . . . funny coincidence......or not.

She also included the left over fabric, so I can make something else that matches!


Thanks to all the girls for making this a fun swap.

I will do a separate post about what I sewed.

    That’s a great swap theme and nice to receive some direction as to what the recipient would like. Very nice that your pouch matches the needle book.
