Watermelon Pouch!
Hi everyone! Long time no post! I know I said I would try to post more often, but I have been really busy this summer with traveling and other summer activities. However, I have found more time to crochet these days, so hopefully, there will be more posts. :)
For my friend's upcoming birthday, I wanted to make her a pouch. So using this pattern by Sarah of RepeatCrafterMe, I began making her watermelon coin purse.
In the original pattern, Sarah recommends using a sharp crochet hook to directly insert the hook into the zipper to begin the pouch, but I just used my regular 2.20mm crochet hook to pierce through my zipper, and it worked just fine. This watermelon pouch pattern is super quick and easy!
The materials I used were:
To begin the pouch, I used green yarn and a green zipper
Then I changed to white yarn, then to pink yarn!
Almost done!
Once I finished the pouch, I sewed on little black beads to replicate the black watermelon seeds!
Tada! All done!
I hope you guys enjoyed this short post! Until my next post, happy crocheting and crafting!

Gift Bags/Pouches
Hey y'all!
Long time no see! It has been a very long time since I posted something on this blog. I have been crocheting and crafting, but my school schedule has been crazy busy since I am preparing for all my finals, AP exams, and SAT. However, my junior year in high school is almost over, so I will definitely be blogging more often during the summer and my senior year! :)
Any who...Back to the post... :P
At my church, I help a couple of kids memorize Bible verses at AWANA. Now that summer is approaching and AWANA is coming to an end, I wanted to make some gift bags for them. My plan was to crochet mini pouches and stuff them with goodies. Soooo.....
I started by making four pouches (since I have four kids in my group) each in different colours. For each pouch, I used Patons Grace yarn ( colours: Peacock, Ginger, Blush, and Viola) with a 3.75mm Clover Amour crochet hook. To make the pouch, I just crocheted a long rectangle using the moss/seed stitch, folded it in half, and sewed up the sides
Aren't the colours so pretty?
Next, I ordered a colourful array of zippers from Amazon (I believe it was a pack of 50 zippers for $8).
Before I inserted the zippers, I sewed a lining in the pouches (If you want to learn how to insert zippers and lining into crocheted pouches, you can learn at this post).
In the pink pouch, I inserted a pink lining; in the blue, a yellow lining; in the green, a yellow lining; and in the purple, a white lining. If you can remember, I used the same yellow fabric in the blue and green pouch as I did for my iPad cover.
For the purple pouch, I chose a dark purple zipper; for the pink one, a white zipper; for the blue one, a grey zipper; and for the green pouch, a creme zipper.
Tada! One pouch done! It took me a while to sew and attach the lining and zipper to the pouch, but my trusty sewing machine made it much faster and easier! :D
All pouches done!
In each pouch, I stuffed it with goodies. I filled each pouch with a BonBon Bear, note, and some Hi-Chew candies (I wanted to put in more trinkets and goodies, but the pouches were too small to hold any more goodies☺)
I was really happy with how these pouches turned out. They are super cute and can be used in multiple ways (party favor bags, coin purse, makeup pouch, travel pouch, etc.)
I hope you enjoyed reading this post! Till next time, Happy crocheting and crafting!
