Hand embroidered gingham pouch and two little pin pillows. from contemporary embroidery

 






My little pouch is finished and is now available in my shop.

The edges were closed with hand stitch and a pretty, contrasting printed fabric has been used for the lining.

You'll also notice that I couldn't resist adding a Suffolk puff too, I'm a sucker for Suffolk puffs. 

Also in the shop, these two pretty pin pillows.
