Another phone pouch

Josh (13 years) has been asking for a MP4 cover since I made one for Charlie here so on Sunday I got him to choose fabrics and away I went.  I used the phone pouch pattern from Anni Downs 'In the Life of a Bag' book but appliquéd a more Josh appropriate picture on the front - Sonic the hedgehog!
We had a fab day on Saturday, the youth group went to Arapuni which is about an hours drive from home.  There is a dam, a lake, and a swing (suspension) bridge that is 54 metres above the water!  It is a beautiful spot on the Waikato River which is our longest river in New Zealand.  After a hike we had a picnic lunch and the kids enjoyed a swim and jumping off a rope swing on a island.  The swing bridge was a bit daunting for some, particularly as it sways with movement!  A beautiful day with perfect weather and scenery, Wendy xx

    great little pouch! That swing bridge looks like the one in Turangi over the Tongariro river. Arapuni is where Julie's little threadbear cottage is.

    Hi Wendy, lovely pics, I'm sure Josh was thrilled with Sonic? You need to come to Vancouver and have a go on the Capilano Suspension Bridge!
