Happy, happy #needleworkmonday my friends!!
This week, I would like to share with you one of my happiest sewing projects which I did a few years back:
Front view
This little zipper pouch (about 10cm in diameter) was based on a sewing kit pattern which I found in a cosy needlework shop in my town. The sewing kit pattern was an Olympus sewing kit pattern. Olympus has many sewing kits that are full with cuteness and adorableness 😍😊. But I have to say that they are not cheap.
Back view
Sorry, I could not find the remnants of the kit because it has been quite a long time ago and I can't remember where have I stuffed them. And sorry, there are no process photos either because at that time, I did not imagine that I would be sharing the project here on Steemit 😁.
Basically, the kit contains:
- the different patterned fabric pieces in rectangles or squares that are required for the project
- pattern template
- key ring
- more than sufficient embroidery thread
- zipper
- batting
- how-to-sew manual in English or Japanese language.
The front and back pieces before sewing the zipper and the key chain
The background quarter pie pieces were machine sewn and the rest were all hand sewn. It was my first time hand sewing patchwork pieces with a little bit of embroidery. Although some parts look a little slanted (like the house and windows), I must say that I am still pretty proud of my work until today 😁. I gave this pouch to my sister as a Christmas present that year and the project took about 2-3 days to complete.
I do like with sewing kit patterns like this sometimes because you do not need to think much, just sew based on what is included in the kit and you can reuse the patterns with different fabric and materials. And they are so cuteee!
The downside however is that the price does not come cheap.
Do you sew with kits like these?
