Holiday luncheon table gifts

Spencer-Ogg "Popping Pods" decorate table at Kentucky luncheon.

by Linda Theil

Diane Spencer-Ogg's "Perfectly Popping Pouches" seem to have supplanted her "Cos-Pod" as my favorite pouch design for party favors. I just made six of the medium sized pouches for my cousin's holiday luncheon in Kentucky; then made five more for a gathering of friends at the Brighton Bar & Grill in Michigan.

Small Spencer-Ogg "Popping Pods" for favors at Michigan party.

These small-sized 6 x 4-inch  pouches are made in cottons from the "Christmas Squad" collection by Mia Charro for Free Spirit. The zipper pulls are made from Mora faux leather from Emmaline Bags in Alberta, Canada.

The Kentucky-bound pouches are 8 x 6-inch medium-sized "Popping Pouches" made with cotton fabrics from Deb Strain's "Holidays at Home" collection for Moda. They include coordinating wristlets and Mora faux leather zipper pulls.


All the pouches are fully lined, and feature a wide-mouth zipped opening with recessed zipper, and an interior slip pocket. The narrow base can be folded inside to store flat, and "pop" open when in use. The pouch in the interior photo is made with cotton fabric from the "Rust and Bloom" collection by Sarah Sczepanski for Free Spirit.

Starbucks mini-sling

by Linda Theil A bagmaker from the Kandou Patterns Community on FaceBook posted a bag featuring the Kandou "Mini-Traveler Sling" pattern using a Starbucks coffee bag as part of the fabrication. I am from Pittsburgh, so perhaps it comes naturally that I am intrigued by the use of iconic advertising in works of art, so I asked Alisa to please buy me some Starbucks coffee so that I could sew with the bags. I am also a fan of this slim, six-by-twelve-inch sling pattern that has three pockets and no inside! Alisa was particularly fond of the "Brown Sugar Cinnamon" limited edition bag, so I used this pink and gold bag for my first Starbucks sling. For the body of the bag, I used a cotton from the "Seedlings" collection by Katarina Rocella for Art Gallery Fabrics. The lining is Roccella's "Stacked Stones" design from her "Abstract Art" collection, also for AGF. "Stacked Stones" from "Abstract Art" collection by K. Rocc...

Origami wallet

by Linda Theil This little Lewis Men's Wallet pattern by Diane Spencer-Ogg is one of the quickest and cleverest wallets I've ever seen. The single-pattern-piece construction folds  together like a work of origami. The wallet features several card slots and a slip pocket. Of the many fastening options available, I like the Velcro hook-and-loop fastener for security and ease of use. This little wallet is especially nice for kids.

Diane's Archie

by Linda Theil Diane Spencer-Ogg, owner of Spencer-Ogg, Ltd. in Greater Manchester, UK, released a new mini-duffle pattern she calls "Arch Zipper Pouches" in two sizes with printable pattern pieces and video tuturial. Her video introduction can be viewed at the end of this post. As always, Spencer-Ogg has hit the ball out of the park with the elegance of her design and the precision of her process. I have made two of the 10x8x4-inch large-sized Archies -- as her  fans have dubbed the new pattern. The bag shown above is made of Mora Faux Leather in grape from Emmaline Bags of Alberta, Canada. The interior, shown below, is cotton from the "Art History" collection by Marcia Derse for Windham Fabrics. For my second Archie, I quilted a panel from the "Guess How Much I Love You" collection by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram for Clothworks. With this new design, Spencer-Ogg debuts an updated pattern-production method that provides printable pattern pieces and a c...
