Le Challenge #3 - Maritime

The June theme for the challenge up at Le Challenge was "Maritime" so I thought that I would use this opportunity to make my dad a couple of zippered pouches that he had asked for. 
My parents live by the beach and my father is a very keen fisherman, so this "Fishy" drill was just right for the pouch for him. I used some fusible interfacing for the inside.
 And then I remembered this Sweetwater "Reunion" fabric with the years printed on it - I thought that it was perfect for him to keep his portable hard drive in for the History group that he is involved in. 
And even better, it was Navy in colour - you can't get more Nautical than that!!

    Cute fish pouch! I agree men are a pain...and a pain for gift giving. Nice choice.

    Great link to Maritime with your pouches. I particularly like that Sweetwater fabric - I used it in a different colourway on a quilt for my son.

    Fabulous fabrics ! I particularly love the fish fabric, and you couldn't get a more perfect fabric than the one with all the dates on it for something for a history group. I bet your dad loves them.
