I made this pouch for @mel in the IYP swap. The outside of the pouch is made of leftover embellished fabric from my super scrappy denim jacket. I initially planned to embellish the jacket yokes, but ultimately decided against it.
The majority of the fabric for this project came from quilting project leftovers from my mom and other quilters. The zipper was a $0.25 purchase and the lining is a very faded vintage dish towel I picked up at a garage sale. I love the design, but struggled to find a project for it since it is so faded.

Those layered scraps are so fabulous! And a perfect use for the towel, as well. Quirky and fun little surprise inside!

Amazing!! The way you layer and stitch your scraps totally transforms them. Like the original piece is not even recognizable. It’s sorcery!!

Another Mighty scrappy piece! Woo! I love the addition of the interior towel. There’s a vintage shop near me that has a ton of embroidered tea towels, napkins, etc. that they’re selling for $1 a piece. I “rescued” some, heheheh, I just need to be better at sewing
