Description:

Let's swap Valentines Penny Pockets! Not sure what a penny pocket is? It's a small fabric pocket made of coordinating fabrics, which you can use as decoration or cute storage. Click here for pattern: http://thehappyzombie.com/pdf/penniepocket.pdf and here for pictures and ideas http://thehappyzombie.com/blog/?p=304 You must use the given pattern for this swap! but your creativeness to make them unique. Penny pockets are best made out of 100% cotton (quilting fabric). Heavy fabrics or very thin fabrics will not work on this project. Sewing machine is required.

You will have 1 partner, and make that partner 3 penny pockets in coordinating colors and prints. I suggest you review your partner's profile to see what colors, styles, etc. he/she likes. Embellish it, edge it with lace or ric rac, add a button, fill it with a little something-something to earn a star. Put a cord hanger from the top, if you like (makes it a bit more useful). Get creative!

Newbies are welcome with full profile. USA only. No participants with ratings with 1’s or 3’s within the last 6 months.

They are fun to make. I love doing them for the Holidays and placing goodies inside for neighbors. I also have one hung in my car for extra things too ( gum, chapstick ect. ) I would love for the 7 watching to join in.
