Cat-Eye Pouch Giveaway

I had a chance to make Thread Riding Hood's Cat-Eye Pouch, a free pattern I featured in this post. I used Cotton + Steel from Fabric Spark and Fishskin Fabrics, and a nice zipper with a gold pull from Emmaline Bags. It came together so nicely, and you should definitely give it a try. I made this pouch as a prize to celebrate over 500 'likes' on my Facebook page.
Update: Thanks to everyone who entered; the giveaway is now over.

Remember when I posted about testing this pattern? Well the pattern has been released and is now available for purchase from Delinda Boutique, you can get it on Craftsy or Etsy. 
I did find the pattern to be very detailed, and it's definitely one you won't want to be printing. Each step is extremely detailed, and the pattern is loaded with pictures. With most PDFs, I simply print just the pattern pieces and read the instructions from my tablet. The designer wanted this pattern to be detailed enough for a beginner, and I would say she hit the mark on that one. If you're experienced with bag making, you will probably be able to quickly scan some of the instructions for the simpler steps. Either way, you'll end up with a beautiful, unique bag!
