GOLD!

Here's my thought process for this month's theme:

Gold --- Gold Medal --- Sports

So I used marathon race bibs to make a pouch.

 

You know, those rectangular pieces with numbers 

that runners pin on their t-shirts.

These bibs are from a colleague who runs full and half marathons,

some times competitively, other times for fun.

I made the pouch the usual way.
Sewing seams with right sides together then turning them out.

Well, this plastic-whatever race bib material creased terribly

and the colour flaked off in places when I turned them right side out.

 

Both sides of race bib pouch.

In desperation, I ironed it on a low temperature setting with a press cloth.

 

That flattened the creases, but they are still there and

I fear they are permanent.

But my colleague liked this “distressed” look.

Phew!!!

 

 

See the pic above? Notice the two new bibs from my colleague.

She wants another pouch!
