Time is super tight these days, so I ended up pulling an old stamp that I had carved a few months ago to do my pattern. I played with the repeat in two different ways in a burnt orange ink on linen, then sewed the panels into a simple pouch. It's lined with one of my all-time favorite floral fabrics from Hokkoh.
After I made this, I thought about how much I absolutely love making pouches. They are such a good way to showcase handprinted fabric. So I'm adding something to my challenge. Every week, I'm going to make my printed pattern into a pouch or bag and give it away to one of you! It's a good way for me to say "thank you" for the encouragement you give me, and a good way to keep motivated to make something new every week.
Happy New Year!

I love this stamp design Krista,as well as the way you chose to repeat it and the color. Awesome!
Such a cool idea! I'm pondering a fabric doodling project. I can't be trusted around sharp cutters and stamps.
Krista, I absolutely love your pouches. I, also, make pouches but have not created my own fabrics with stamps. You have inspired me to experiment and I can't wait to follow your new challenge.
So perfect! Love the pattern and color combinations!
Looking forward to following this project throughout the year!
What a cool idea. I've been wanting to try hand printed fabric for so long, but you've finally inspired me. I love how a simple shape can be repeated all over to make a great pattern. Thanks for the inspiration!
love that fabric that you used, thanks for the chance

I can't wait to see what you create this year!
I love everything about these (even your zip is cool!) but your prints make them. What an awesome challenge!

I'm so inspired! I've never carved or stamped before but your style appeals to me so much that I'm going to try it.
I love your pouches and your stamped fabric. Maybe I'll give them a try myself this year.
Oh, Krista, what a great idea for a one-of-a-kind gift. I've put this on my project board to challenge my quilting group to do every month.
That is such a fun idea!! I'd love to win! thank you! and Happy New Year!

what a lovely giveaway. That print is wonderful.
Your pouch is gorgeous. Happy new year!
How fun! I love that pattern...and especially in Orange!
I love your idea of a stamped fabric and your pouch looks so professional. Makes me want to make one or should I say another one? Makes for a beautiful gift. Thanks for sharing and and for the inspiration!
Really like your stamp and how you creatively used it. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
What a fun and generous idea. I'll have to look for a way to pass it on.
Your stamp is so cool! I love how you rotated it and made such a neat pattern. :)
How absolutely inspiring - just love the clutch (love ALL your bags)!
Thanks for sharing and I would be honored to win it!
Such a great idea! Can I ask what kind of ink? And how do you make the stamp? I love it. I can't imagine doing it 52 times, though! You are brave!
This is beautiful - and an inspiration: each stamp impression is so clear! I really like the way in which the stamped element repeats differently on each side of the pouch to create a subtle change in the rhythm of the pattern. Fabulous colour choice, too! Thank you for the chance to participate in your giveaway.
I would be delighted to win one of those gorgeous pouches!
Nicely done! I like the second print best I think - the one which is more lined up. Good luck sustaining the challenge.
Really a stunning bag! Thanks for the inspiration!

This is such a gorgeous pouch! I love the simple triangle print. The burnt orange and linen are a perfect compliment to each other!
This pouch is beautiful and what a generous giveaway!
Sew very nice! Love everything about it!
Love your pouch. What a fun challenge to yourself to do something each week. I need to take on a challenge for 2015.
Beautiful pattern! Do you have a post on printmaking?
Excellent interpretation of such a simple element. Thank you for the chance to win.
Great idea, hope it will make 2015 a special crafting year for you. Looking forward to seeing the projects as the year goes. I love your work!
Love this print! But then I love all of your prints :)
This one and the birds have to be my faves though. At least so far....
What a lovely pouch. Oh how I wish I could do this printing - I want to do a range of fabric this way for a christmas gift for a friend. I must do some more exploring and try again - thanks for the inspiration, (and for sharing your work with us all)
What a fun project to take on! You are making me want to break out my stamp carving supplies and dive right in!
Oh what a lovely pouch! :)
That is beautiful! I'm looking forward to reading your posts on this project - pouches and hand printed fabrics are both obsessions of mine :)
Krista, it is just fabulous this design with the triangles!!! Love it!

I really like the idea of a daily or weekly commitment - it is the way I work best - to accomplishing things. Your printed fabric project is wonderful! I am new to your blog, and I'm so very glad to have discovered you - my kind of stuff!
