Last week, I had the joy of working with some Tula Pink fabrics from her newest range called Everglow. Along with the fun animal prints, the range also includes co-ordinating stripes and dot prints... and they're neon! I know that bright neon colours aren't everyones favourite for projects but, I must say is that they've certainly been very popular and an eye-catching talking point as customers walk into the store and see our display.
I was tasked with making a small Everglow project for the store. The hardest decision what choosing which print to use. I love the orange lion print the most. I envision this lion at the centre of a circle quilt or as the centre of dresden or wheel blocks. I decided on the purple giraffe print along with the purple stripe.
I decided to make a Large Clam Up pouch (pattern byAnnie), fussy cutting the giraffe print so the cute animal was the focus of the bag. The stripe was the lining fabric and I used a chunky purple zipper to hold it all together.
I still had some fabric leftover, so I made an Everglow giraffe pot holder. A giraffe was also fussy cut for the front pocket. I used the free pot holder pattern over on Bombshell Bling. I've used this pattern a few times and absolutely love it. Here's the link if you'd like to check it out.
Gorgeous bag & potholder. Love the giraffe print.
ReplyDeleteI almost picked up the purple giraffe fabric last month at a quilt show and then passed on looking at other things and never went back for it - cute!
