A little project idea for you today, I recently made up a little pouch to hold all my embroidery supplies for my wips and projects. I wanted somewhere where everything would be neatly stored ready for any spare embroidery minutes I can find during the course of the day.
Open it up and inside is stored everything I need - a copy of my book, the pulled out transfer pages from the book, floss, marking pens, scissors and a couple of embroideries awaiting stitching up into a little something. There is plenty of room to keep a hooped up embroidery in progress too.
All right at the tips of my fingertips.
(The deer and sailboat embroideries can both be found in my book)
These are the colours I have picked out ready for my current project (more on that soon)
Of course there was one fabric line I could use to stitch up this little idea - Sew Stitchy. I used my Hexagons fabric for the outside, Chain Stitch for the inside, Pins for the tab and two of the pockets and Spools for the other pocket. The binding fabric is called French Knot Dot.
Both my daughter's have already tried to swipe my pouch from me for themselves - What is it with kids thinking everything you stitch up is really for them?
though if they are good, santa just might bring them one this year ;)
I love this! Are you planning to do a tutorial for it or a pattern?

How smart! That is really awesome!

How absolutely fab! I admit, if you were to leave that around, then I too would feel tempted..... ;) Seriously, I know what you mean. My six-year old girls have a similar tendency to "appropriate" my things too.

It looks beautiful, especially with your fabric. I made a knitting wrap recently but I still need to learn to put things away (otherwise what's the point!!!) Sarah.

So stinkin' cute! I love the way you closed it! And the fabrics are perfect, of course :)

It's just perfect! I hope you come out with a pattern or tutorial for it, because it would really come in handy for me!

Really cute project pouch ~ I love this kind of sewing. Just made an ipad pouch that turned out really cute AND the tutorial that you had here a couple of days ago. I don't have a photo of it (forgot to take one) as I gave it to a friend. She loves it!

That is so cute and a great idea

Just darling! Oh and how brave....a button hole! I could use one of these myself, any thoughts on a pattern?
Posted by: Hallie | 10/04/2012 at 03:36 PM
What a great idea and it turned out lovely! I definitely have to make me one of these...especially since I just got your book this past weekend and I am venturing off into the lovely world of embroidery! I have some Cherry on a Tree Swing fabric that I've been saving for something special and I think this fits the bill perfectly!! Any hopes of seeing this in a pattern or tutorial? Thanks again for so much fantastic inspiration!

I love this so much - I did click on the "references to embroidery pouch" link, but it does not take me anywhere - could you check it? Or maybe it's just me :)
Thanks for sharing....

You just whip these awesome little creations up so fast and make it look so easy. Wonderful job again, I love it. This would be a great item for your etsy shop :)

Love this, and that it fits your book, too!! xo Heather
Posted by: Heather | 10/04/2012 at 05:52 PM
ohhh...i do hope (as many others have) that you do a tutorial! unfortunately i don't have the gift (confidence?) of 'whipping' up something like this without a little guidance. but perhaps i could try and just see how it goes... :) thanks for sharing!

Totally adorable. I know several homes that need a Santa stop for this. I'd happily buy a pattern for this.
