Due to recent career changes, I found myself in need of a pouch to store my secateurs when they’re in my bag.
I wanted the outer fabric to be light-coloured, so they are easy to see in my bag, and green (to match the nature (ha!) of their job). This fabric (on the right) worked perfectly; I used lower-quality green linen for the lining.
I also used that green linen to put a belt loop on the back. I decided to quilt the outer, partly because this fabric is a bit thin, and to protect other things in my bag from getting scratched by the secateurs.
Nearly there….
….and done!
I think it looks pretty good! The pattern I used is for a pair of sewing scissors (this one here by See Kate Sew), which I modified by shortening the point end by 2cm and extending the flap end by 2cm to compensate. And of course, I also added the belt loop!
If I was making them again, I’d probably widen the pattern by a centimetre or two, just so the secateurs aren’t quite so snug in there. They have been working well so far, so I call that a win!
Anyways, see ya!
