Today I am sharing my latest projects – my Citrus Pouch and Posy Purse, with the new line of fabric “Summer Skies and Fireflies” designed by Gracey Larson of Burlap and Blossoms
As described by Gracey- “This collection was inspired by nostalgic, warm, summer afternoons where cares seem to melt away and life feels simple. I wanted to design a fabric collection that would represent the simple things that stay the same in an ever-changing world: feelings of home, the sun coming up every morning, and fireflies dancing when the crickets start to sing at dusk. “
I absolutely love this line of fabric. The prints are adorable and the colors are the most yummy shades that are reminiscent of the colors of sorbet! These fabrics are pure sunshine!
What better project than a citrus pouch that showcase all the beautiful prints?

I chose a palette of lemon yellow, pink grapefruit, and lime green to make a trio of my Citrus Pouch. They are so sweet and summer!
Gingham zippers can be found at Sunny Day Supply. I love how they coordinate with the fabrics.
The Posy Purse is a new version of my Modern Hexagon Purse that I created a decade ago! I used a Summery combination of yellow and turquoise which is the epitome of Summer – blue skies and sunshine! An appliquéd hexagon was used for the fun little flower center.
The Posy Purse is a fun make and a perfect sized purse or small tote to carry all your essentials. Instruction are included for making you own handles!
I hope you choose to make a project with “Summer Skies and Fireflies”. Be sure to tag your makes on social media with the hashtags:
