Tiny Triangle Coin Pouch

Hi, and Happy New Year to anybody still hangin’ in there with me and reading the ol’ blog! Thanks for coming back, and for your patience with my slowness. I make no promises for 2022, either with the blog or otherwise. May things only get better! 

Before Christmas, I came across a tutorial from Sew4Home for a cute little origami triangle pouch, thanks to Rochelle of eSheep Designs, in a post she titled “Last Minute Holiday Gifts to Sew”. Now I wasn’t even planning to sew any gifts for Christmas, but these were so adorable and I happened to still have a lot of ribbons Jess had designed several years ago for Renaissance Ribbons, so I decided to give one a try. Here’s my first one.

The front and back:

It can be opened from either side.

Here’s the inside:

When completely unsnapped, it opens flat. I guess I neglected to get a photo of that. Use your imagination. :)

I was rather pleased with the ribbons/fabric combo I found!

I gifted that one to a friend. Since it was fun to make and I had lots more ribbons, I decided leave other Christmas preparations til the last minute (so it would feel more like normal, y’know?) and make some more. It wasn’t exactly easy finding ribbons and fabrics that would work together, but I managed three more combos, plus a duplicate of the first one. Sometimes it pays to buy fabric grab bags!

Here are the results:

That was the extent of my pre-Christmas sewing. It was fun, but I’ve had my fill of these pouches now. I’m ready for another pattern test, and one will be available very soon, maybe even today - yay!

On a side note… back to Rochelle from eSheep Designs, she wrote a blog post entitled “So Done With 2021…” I encourage you to read it.
