Embroidered Sewing Kit OPAM 2012

A few weeks back I posted about finding a marked out piece of fabric that I must have done years ago 

and decided to finish it.....

Well, after having to think what I could make the small panel into (as this bit was not really thought about until AFTER I had cut the edge fabric.  Why did I do that?

Anyway..

This is the front with added flap and fastening.  Then some random free machining to  add texture.

A little iron on flower that I found at the bottom of my sewing box.  I normally do not rate iron-ons very much.  However, this is a really good one!

Plus a "Sew a little Happiness" label too.

I made a little pouch to go on the inside back cover to hold small items such as crochet hooks, tape measure etc.  

I still need to add a few more things, such as a small pincushion, labels for different types if needles and possibly a scissors pocket.  However, I wanted a follow up post to the embroidery one as it did say that I had plans for it.

I am in the process of developing this to make some for the new website.  As you can see it is quite big as I want to be able to take it to my embroiderers guild classes without having to take half of my sewing room. with me.

I shall be back with pictures of the additions once they have been completed.

It has been a very long week and the weather has been soooo unpredictable. Sun? Rain? Boots? Shoes?   Basically, whatever I had on .....it was not the right thing.

Heyho!  ballet run tomorrow as hubby is working away.  Then I think it is Mummy and Sophie time.

I love that time.
