“Q” is for Quilted Drop Cloth Pouch

July 31, 2013

diy quilted drop cloth zipper pouch
Drop cloth canvas is a fabric staple in my stash and I’ve made tons of drop cloth pouches but this time I changed the look by quilting the drop cloth:

The drop cloth is still rugged and timeless but the quilting adds a tiny bit of sophistication to what some might think is simply a painters tool:

This wasn’t my first quilted pouch, previously I made this pink gingham version.  It’s hard to see the quilting except in the detail shot but trust me it’s there:

The quilted pink gingham pouch was part of a new baby gift for my husband’s cousin complete with personalized burp cloths:

This quilted drop cloth pouch was also a baby gift for a different cousin.
Here you can see the quilting detail:

Metal zippers are my new favorite, they are super sturdy and provide the tiniest bit of industrial feel.  I love the bright orange against the drop cloth and navy monogram:
