Starfall Pouch colour ideas
The original Starfall Pouch is a riot of bold, bright colours, contrasting with a stark black and white checkerboard. After all, it is well-known that my favourite colour is rainbow! Despite this, I do understand that some of you may want a *slightly* more muted option - perhaps something that seems a little more professional for school or work? While being a full-time artist allows me say that rainbows are totally professional, I know not everyone agrees… so I’ve taken the opportunity to mock up some different colour ways. Hopefully they inspire you!
The Starfall Pouch has a different design on each side - Panel 1 and Panel 2 - but feel free to mix it up and have matching panels on both sides!
Top Tip
When you’re picking out fabrics, make sure to go with small scale or texture prints - larger prints will get lost when you’re cutting them up!
Speckled rainbow
