Check out these Plover Pouches in Orchard Run! I knew that I had to make a set of Plovers once I got my sample yardage of Orchard Run in.

Like the Firefly Totes, it’s fun to come up with different combinations. For the linings on all the pouches I used the Natural Shizen linen. It’s a nice weight and the colors look amazing with the collection. The texture is so yummy!

It was nice to sew these up assembly line style. I really don’t enjoy sewing like that most of the time, but I think for the Plover it’s interesting enough sewing to make them up in a set. I cut them all out, fused all the interfacing, and then assembled the linings and then all the exteriors. It takes time, but I do like the results!

Pocket Options

If you’re looking to sew the Plover with a fabric interior pocket instead of mesh/elastic, check out my blog post here for step by step instructions. I know it’s getting harder to source supplies, so making a fabric pocket is a great alternative. Alternately, I would recommend asking your local quilt shop if they stock the byAnnie’s mesh/elastic and then purchasing it from them.
