Gray Bubble Pod

I made this for the Box of Color swap. I had the best time crafting for that swap. Not only do I love the color gray, I had a great partner in @JoyfulClover . We chose to make each other the same bubble pod.

It was fun to know we were making the same thing, yet have no idea what hers would look like. We both chose the color gray too. I happen to love stars, so I naturally gravitate to those fabrics. I found some amazing gray star fabric and used the scribble fabric from my stash.
I also used metallic thread for the quilting on the outside, but you can’t really tell.



Joyfulclover was very clever and placed a little patch of kitten inside of hers.
I would describe the pattern as “fiddly”. but we were both able to create great pods.
They are great to store little things in.

Thanks for checking it out!

Oh I love this! I’ve had a pod pattern pinned to try forever, I wonder if it’s the same one.

Sounds like you guys had a great swap! :grin:

This is so great! I, too, love grey AND have had a pattern pinned for ages. But then I read reviews and decided that maybe I wasn’t up for it. But none of the other pod patterns have quite the same charming shape.

Ooh, now we need to see a picture of yours too!

This is really neat! I like that star fabric. What kind of things are you using it for?

Me too. It was a lot of fun and we even talked about how fiddly the pattern was as we were making it. :rofl:

Yeah, I don’t want to hijack this thread, but @Abbeeroad this pattern was a legit pain. It’s the first bad review I’ve ever given.

BUT it was really fun to work on the same pattern at the same time and commiserate over it. That part I enjoyed! And look how cute it turned out!!

I love that you both used starry gray fabrics!

I haven’t seen pods like these before and I love both of your versions, they make me want to make one for myself, but based on your feedback about the pattern, I think I’ll just sit back and admire both of yours :blush:.

It’s so cute! I love fabric baskets, bins, pods & such. So nicely customizable.
Was it really that tricky? It looks fairly simple. I think I can figure it out…

Thats kind of the point. It was more complicated than it needed to be.
