We are off on a short holiday to Sydney soon - it might be one of our last trips as a family as our daughter is about to turn 18 and finish Year 12 at school. So we have quite a few things planned to do whilst we are away - a visit to Madame Tussauds is topping my list! We already have tickets for the plane and sporting events for me to keep track of, along with a few tourist brochures and maps so I thought that I would try and keep it all organsied by making a folder to hold them all.
I did a few searches online and found a fabulous tutorial over at The Cottage Home for a fabric portfolio that had numerous pockets which was just perfect for what I needed. I decided to use an Icon "Sydney" linen along with some black denim for the front of the pouch and a few of the vibrant Prints Charming fabrics for the inside
I have the pocket pieces cut out ready to be assembled so only have to make up the front piece now and stitch it all together before we leave...
Linking to WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.
