The Viewables – a set of 5 pouches (plus 2 bonus sizes)
The Viewables are a set of five pouches (plus two bonus sizes) that are quick and easy to make and a great stash buster pattern. This is a perfect beginner’s sewing project to get the most of those beautiful fat quarters!!
You can see what is in each one and the sides expand so you can get more space when you need it. They have so many uses it’s amazing.
They are perfect to put your projects in to keep them nice and neat. Or for your special lingerie, for a weekend trip. Maybe you could use them for pencils, medical supplies, kid’s toys, sewing notions.
Whatever you use them for you will love them because you can see what is in each one and the sides expand so you can get more in them.
Make them as a matching set or with different fabrics, colorful and fun. The possibilities are endless. Be warned though these Viewables are a little addictive!
