Cloudburst Rainy Day Purse and Gathered Pouch

Hi! Charise here from Charise Creates sharing the purses I made with the adorable new line of fabric “Cloudburst” from Jillily Studios.

The prints are a brilliant combination of umbrellas, rain clouds, florals and a cherry print for added cuteness.

I decided to make two different projects – a purse and a zipper pouch : )

The Rainy Day Purse was designed for Stitch magazine. Stitch magazine no longer exists but you can purchase the pattern on the Sew Daily website.

The umbrella features my favorite print from the line – The umbrella print. The raindrops and umbrella prints make the perfect border for the umbrella border.

The shell of the purse highlights the adorable rain cloud print in blue. The outside pocket is the perfect size for a compact umbrella or your phone and features a sweet gathered top.

I added a loop and d-ring and hung a fun cherry zipper pull which I purchased from Rose Garden Patchwork.

The sweet little pouch features the cherry trio from my book Super Cute Paper Piecing.

I added ric rac trim for a little extra cuteness!

The gathered pouch is the perfect mix of romantic and sweet. It is a great choice if you have a special print or small quilt block to feature.

I loved making projects with “Cloudburst”. I hope you do too!

Happy Sewing! Charise
