Before:
After!
Yes, I used to carry around my embroidery projects in a yellow file folder.
Silly!
Isn't this pouch much more fun?!
The pattern is from the book Patchwork Please, although I changed the front a bit. Rather than making the star patchwork in the pattern, I used up an orphan block that I had on my design wall. This made the project much quicker! My front block was 10 inches square, so I did have to change the size, just a bit.
On the back I quilted a few straight lines,
and added one of my labels.

I love how you changed it up! Inspires me very much to do one of these!
ReplyDeletePerfect use of a random block!! Your pouch turned out great and YES much better than a file folder! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have a random block that would be perfect for this! Thanks for your cute version!
ReplyDeleteMUCH better than a file folder. You have inspired me... I have way too many notions stashed in Ziploc bags... I love your Star bloc. Very pretty.
ReplyDeletean excellent way to keep your bits and pieces
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a wonderful idea for that orphan block, Michelle. I'm loving your fabric choices too. Such a pretty and clever way to keep your embroidery goodies organized. Love it!
