The Story of a Fox

As some of you know M's birthday was last week.

I used templates from Lia Griffith to make paper feathers and bows to put on her packages.

A while back I was searching the internet for a particular fox fabric and came across this one.  It is not what I was looking for but I knew immediately that I had to get some.

I had several different ideas for the fabric but ended up making this little zippered pouch with a pretty floral lining.

It's called a dumpling and the pattern and tutorial can be found here.

It opens wide.

I used the zipper scraps for side tabs

and put ribbon on the zipper for a pull tab.

And, oh yeah, it happens to match M's phone case.

Happy birthday, M!

See you soon,

Sharon
