I’ll admit right now that naming my patterns is not my strong suit. The name for this piece came to be because I was inspired by my Geometric Zip Pouch. I love that this design echos my other bag, but this time, the triangles “square” up to each other - hence my very original name.… Continue reading Geometric Squared Pouch
