Some more ideas turned into reality! I made these the other day using antique linen with pretty cotton fabrics. I hand embroidered the linen and then add some ric rac and pom pom trim. They are really sweet little purses. I want to make some more and really need to perfect inserting zips - not so easy! I was thinking these pouches are great to carry papers around in your bag, or for kids as pencil cases, clip holders, jewellery bags and so on. So many uses for them! More images on flickr
Hi Rachel - I met your sister at the last Mathilda's Market.I've made several zippered purses - they're easy to put in if you put them in first (Kelly Doust shows how in her book 'The Crafty Minx')

ReplyDeleteLast year embroidery was one of my unmet goals. I love the embroidery design. I have an option to add embroidery module to my Bernina but since all our computers our Apple -- it seems expensive and difficult. Thus, I definitely wanted to hand embroider, especially since I've lost my favorite Mexican inspired peasant blouse. It was hand-embroidered beautifully. I love your post and am saving it as one of my favorites. You do beautiful and intricate work in your normally sewing -- I can't wait to see your embroidery!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing chance for one of your very special creations. It would make my year to be lucky enough to have a one of your fantastic embroideries and it would have pride of place in my house. Whoever wins will be one lucky person!!!! Good luck everyone.

ReplyDeleteI am reached here by searching for calibration details of embroidery machines... think it is right place for it and this site should be an encyclopedia for the embroidery business .
