In my post yesterday I mentioned I wanted to make progress with my drawstring pouch.
Success!
Sixteen pieces of pink gingham ribbon have been stitched at regular intervals around the outside section of the pouch.
When this is finished they will be tied.
I also think I have sourced my lining cloth, that is ordered and on its way.
Let's hope that when it gets here it is suitable.
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.
Hand made, hand embroidered drawstring pouches.
One of these is patchwork focused, namely Grandmothers flower garden.
The other piece is gingham focused, embellished with bullion knots and sequins.
Both pouches are fully lined with silk Dupion.
I use these to store my vintage handkerchief collection and I get to see them every day.
I am continuing with my deliberate efforts to use up ever-accumulating scraps! This is the Good Luck Pouch that I recently made for our oldest granddaughter. I used leftover squares from the Amarillo Sky quilt. I made the small one, measuring at 8"W X 3"H, it's a perfect size for stashing small treasures while traveling or when she's on the go. She loved it. I followed the instructions

So far I have only listed some of the zip pouches, but more pouches and more items will be coming soon.
I have plans to make zipper pulls with beads and charms, coasters and coaster sets, and even tote bags. I will have them priced with free first-class shipping, with the option to pay for Priority to receive your goods faster.
read moreI decided to explain how I’m coping without a rotary cutter and mat. Yes, it’s like the days when I first started quilting. I don’t always want to measure, and luckily with the pouches I’m making I really don’t have to.
For this cat pouch I eyeballed the size of the cat fabric I wanted, then cut to the size I felt looked good. I centered the fabric by finding and marking the center of the batting/backing and the cat fabric, then pinning in place.
The blue accents to the side were just cut ...
read moreInspired by Janice who made a couple of small pouches recently to pop into her bag, I made something similar to slip my sunglasses into. These used to roll about in my handbag and I was concerned that they would come into contact with keys and get scratched. After a bit of thought, this is what I came up with. Thanks for the idea Janice.

Today was a lovely calm and sunny day, a little cool, but it was sheltered enough to spend an hour outside sitting under the archgola. This is an ideal place ...

My sewing room is not yet fully set up but at least there was enough space to sew and just enough for cutting too.
On Sunday, I digged into my various stash (some still scattered in different place) to find some vinyl, some thicker cotton, some interfacing and quilting cotton, my plan was to make an old favourite ...
