Zakka 2.0 - Teabag Pouch

6/21/2013

Week Three of the Zakka Along 2.0!  This week features both a Lettered Tea Cozy and a Teabag Pouch.  I didn't make the tea cozy, but I did take the time to make the teabag pouch, except not.  We do drink tea, both hot and cold, but it isn't a ritual, but rather teabags thrown in a glass jar, so I knew that I didn't want to use the pouch to hold tea, so i decided to use it for sewing supplies!  Originally I thought I would use it to hold my hand sewing needles, but after seeing this version HERE I knew that I would use it for machine needles instead!  I thought it was such a great idea!

Once I had decided it would be a sewing pouch, I figured, why not use up some of my sewing themed fabric!  I dug through my stash and found a print that featured small sewing items, gathered up a few solid scraps, a scrap of ribbon, a random button, and I was good to go!  This was a quick and super easy project, simple directions and straight forward.  I added the stitching around the outside just to "finish it off" and I like that look, it looks polished and neat.  Now it holds my little cases of sewing machine needles, all organized and tidy in my sewing box.  No more digging around for the different sizes, they are all in one place now.

Love how yours turned out and also that it will be more useful to you than a tea pouch would. It was gracious of you to include the link to Debbie's pouch and very helpful to your readers that you included links to the sew along.

Creative! Perfect way to use it. I think it might be useful for other sewing stuff too! Great choice of fabrics too!
