So I’m usually not too adventurous with my metal hardware and zip colors. But I had this perfect canvas from Alexia on my shelf and I had to make this rose gold Plover pouch come to life!
I decided to keep things simple and let the rose gold shine by making the gusset and front/back panels from the same fabric. It’s an easy swap if you’re going for a one-print look, can’t find a coordinating fabric you like in your stash, or if you’re working with solids.
The lining is a linen cotton blend to match the exterior canvas. I typically like to use a lighter lining color so I can see all the things! Plus, it was easy to use with the cream mesh/fold over elastic I have on hand. It seems to be really versatile, so if you’re new to mesh/fold over elastic, I think that’s the one to pick up!
Graduation Gift
I grabbed my rose gold zip, some rose gold snaps (affiliate link), and hopped to it! It’s a surprisingly Spring-like combination (yay Spring!) and I think it’ll be a great gift for a friend of ours that just graduated from college.
Decorative Zipper Pull
Little details like this leather pull are always a great way to use up small leather scraps. I didn’t want to invest in a bunch of rose gold rivets, so I did a little bit of hand sewing with a pearl cotton for this one. I think it coordinates really well with the fabric.
