I decided to use the green as scales for this cute little fish pouch! I have had this idea rattling around in my head for a couple years, when I bought a similar backpack style fish bag for Big G in a market in Italy, and have seen some variations since on Pinterest. This challenge was the proding I needed to get it done!
The drawstring closure can be pulled on both sides for a shorter wristlet strap, or pulled to one side for over-the-shoulder wear. And the drawstring doubles as a fishy mouth :)
Lots of room for a phone, change purse, keys and all sorts of treasures inside!
This little fishy was instantly claimed by The Middle Child.
I am sure the other contestants will be bringing all sorts of talent to this challenge, so hop over to Family Ever After, take a look and cast your vote! Voting is open now through Friday evening, and the five who advance will be announced next Wednesday. One vote per device :) Thanks so much and wish me luck!

This is so cute! And clever! I haven't had a chance to comment yet to congratulate you on making it into sew-vivor, but it is well-deserved and I'm excited for you :)
Ok, when are you releasing the pattern for THIS?! No, not for my child, for ME! Love it!
Oh it is brilliant!!!
This is just so fun. I love the mixed patterns in the fins. Great fabric choices and good work. I voted for your project. I think half the fun of sewing is making one of a kind imaginative things for our kiddos. Can't wait to see what you do in the next round.
