"No math method" of making geometry pattern

All right!
Yesterday I was getting ready to teach the class on my "No math method of making geometry patterns". Forget about inches and calculation, all you can do is just fold your freezer paper and use the bend of it as a stitching line!
This was my sample.

And this is what we've done all together today!

The most exciting moment was when we joined all 12 segments in one piece!

Good job, girls! Thank you for learning with me this method! I hope you enjoyed!

I guess this is a good idea for my next tutorial!

Happy sewing!

Shell pouch with clear zippered pockets

I have something else new to share with you today! 

 This is my next "Shell pouch with clear zippered pockets",

 a little bigger, than the previous one (find it in my earlier post). That was 7"x5" size, 

And this is a perfect travel size pouch - 12"x5"! 

 Pockets are clear, you don't need to unzip them to see what's in it! You can keep 6 Aurifil size spools on one side and needles set, seam ripper, threader and scissors on another. Two invisible magnets just clasps like a shell. AND you don't even need a pincushion! Pull your thread through the top part of the pouch, thread your needle with threader and just leave it on the magnet! Your needles will be resting between those magnets even when it's closed! Never loose them and always ready for use!

Threader is a great thing for traveling too! If you never used it before - watch this video, - one of my favorite time-saving things!!! You can't carry scissors in your carry-on, but the threader has a nice and sharp built-in thread cutter! So you can take your small hand-sewing projects aboard with this ergonomic and convenient pouch and be busy with your favorite things!

(Tutorial is here!)

Shell pouch

In addition to my Fancy fans bag (tutorial on Etsy) I developed a new pattern for the pouch/cosmetic bag (whatever it's called!) and I am really pleased with it!

Tutorial is here!

Swivel hook on the side of the bag holds this pouch through little loop I attached when was finishing binding.

It clasps with two small sewn-in hidden magnets and opens like a shell! Both halves have clear vynil sides with decorative black and white zippers sewn just to the top with invisible thread.

Of course, one was not enough, so I made two at a time!
