It's been a while, but I finally have something done to show you! I picked out some of my favorite fabrics from my stash and made a nicely sized bag that I can use as either a purse or a stitching bag. In the middle is a tiny basket of flowers embroidery. The pattern for it is yet another one from the Flickr group Hoop Love Vintage Transfers. I don't know how I lived before I found that place and its huge supply of vintage patterns!
This embroidery only took maybe 2 or 3 hours to complete. I used some of my favorite Cosmos Seasons variegated threads and the brown thread for the basket is a DMC variegated.
There's a large patchwork pocket on the back as well as two small side pockets. And since I already had some extra patchwork squares cut, I decided to make a little pincushion and needlebook to go with it.
I got the little pom-pom trim on sale at Jo-an Fabrics and thought it would look nice around the edges.
Here's the inside of the needlebook. I just love these fabrics and the nice thing about patchwork is having so many favorite fabrics all together on one thing! The vintage doily underneath it is one that I was lucky enough to find at a yard sale one summer.
Thank you for stopping in, it was nice visiting with you!
