I used the Shabby Fabrics tutorial from YouTube. She gives dimensions and a nice detailed tutorial. Would love to post the link but it’s not working for me. They are very easy. I used my walking foot. One comment I will make is I wasn’t satisfied with the structure just using fusible batting. I tried Foam. Great for holding shape but I found I was getting pleating. Changed to using batting on the outside fabric and a heavy weight interfacing on the lining. Still not 100% satisfied as the lining is a bit crunchier than I would like. Maybe others here will have a better suggestion.

My sister is older by 18 months. I think it is part guilt.....As middle child I felt the need to assert myself somehow and I beat my sister up quite a bit! When we got older I would ‘borrow’ her clothes. And often ruin them. I was terrible. We get along great now!

My sister doesn’t sew much and didn’t really know where to start. I needed to find something in Canada or at one of the few places in the US with reasonable shipping rates to Canada. It just made sense for me to do the searching.

Nicely done! They are very cute and I'm sure her skaters will love them.

Wow, you deserve a metal for those; although, the happiness these skaters will feel when receiving them will be worth it.

The pouches are beautiful, the girls will appreciate them. There are tons of patterns for them on the internet, once you make one it's easy to adjust the measurements to the size you want. I made a bunch for make-up brushes for my granddaughters and their friends for Christmas.
