The end of pouch week

Feels like all I've been sewing lately. Well, I guess that's because it is. This is the last one. Totally last minute - my girl informs me that the case needs to be big enough to fit her ruler. Ok. So a few adjustments to the pattern and this is what I got. Also added some heavy interfacing to the outer panels to provide a bit of stability. Seemed to work well.

My sweetheart wanted my Joel Dewberry fabrics that I was saving for a bag. What kind of mum would I be to say no to my sweet girl?

Especially when she is such a good helper. She reorganised my scraproom yesterday. And I am loving it. And she's always rescuing this chook (Gabbana) as it likes to escape the chicken pen everyday. It's become her favourite chicken and she's always carefully putting her back in the pen with the others.
Back to school for the kids next week - I don't know what I'll do without them. I love having them around all the time.
Looks like I'm going to have to brush up on my chicken catching skills ;o)
