Two happy students created their own Posh Pockets (formerly
"Fancy Vinyl Pockets" tutorial) in the class I taught at Crazy Quilters
yesterday. We had a fun time and shared a lot of laughs along the way.
They left with completed vinyl pockets and instructions to make more.
I made one along with them and this is what I turned out.
Of course, it's a silly, corgi theme, using printed twill tape, an
image I printed out on fabric, fancy yarn and metallic thread.
This is the back of mine. The little blocks were done by a guild
member and included with a fabric offering on our "giveaway"
table at the last meeting. I liked the gold floral design, and smiled
when I saw the two small blocks tucked between the fabric folds.
This was the perfect opportunity to use them.
I did change the name of this pocket for my class, so I went back to
this post and adopted it as the new name for the project. It appears in
my "BW Free Patterns/Tutorials" link in my menu bar. Once you get the
hang of working with vinyl, you'll want to make a whole lot more.
A nice ending to our evening was a visit from Domino's owner.
He dropped off eight bottles of a lovely moscato wine to thank
me for keeping Domino safe when he ran away from home.
I told him I was surprised that he remembered where we lived,
but he said he wrote the house number down as soon as he went
back inside after I returned his dog to him...and he'd kept my
voice mail so he knew how to call ahead to ask to come over.
Handsome and I got to meet his two daughters and girlfriend.
Such lovely people. Thanks for the wine, Andre! We'll say a toast
to you and Domino when we put up our feet over the weekend.
