Snap Pouch -- I made it!

I used the cut-off triangles from the bag I made last night to make HSTs and then sewed them together to make a little pouch (about 5" by 4.5").  The top of it has pieces cut from a metal carpenter's tape measure in the casing, so that when you open the pouch, it will snap closed again.

  1. A neat use for an old tape measure! I saw one of these at one of the vendors's booths at a quilt show I was at recently. Yours are very stylish in black and white.

  4. Love it - wish I had thought of using a metal measuring tape. I'm off to raid my DHs tool box.

  6. what a great way to use up snippets! I have been teaching a class at my local quilt shop using the pattern by The Stitch'n Sisters. I asked my readers to send me Owl fabric for a special project I am working on, in return I sent them this pouch as a thank you gift. it was very well recieved. (mauh) Liz
