You can never have too many

A new pouch - you can never have too many

Japanese fabric bought 25 years ago - such a good quality

I lined it with a light yellow fabric - it facilitates the finding of

things 

There are many layers to sew over - with a jeans needle

and care it is possible

I hide the seam allowance with a bias strip


And it is nice and clean looking




It is kind of a tray with much space



The zipper




and the other 

There are some youtube videos about the how-to

I found out that Dehem Créations is the best for me

It is called „Trousse Zippée Charlotte“

It is in French but Monique is showing it so detailed that it

can be understood so very well

I watched just the video and could find out the pattern there.

Snail trail and a pouch

A friend of mine came along to the patchwork meeting

with snails on tulips. We were delighted and back at home

 everybody started to copy them - so was I.

I started to crochet snails - they are coming from  

http://natasnest.blogspot.de/2013/10/little-snails-free-pattern.html

Have a look at her blog - there are many wonderful little things.

I made a simple pouch out of scraps - machine quilted.

Of course, woman always needs a new pouch - 

Inspiration came from Pinterest.

A quick supper when the pouch was finished

We call it Flammkuchen - a thin dough with lard, cream and onions.

The little horse is a souvenir from China. I love its colours.

Interesting for me that the pouch colours are very similar

although the little patch piece came from my scrap box in another house

Blossoms and more

It is all blossom against the evening sky - the future crop of

mirabelles - the little round yellow plums, first a little sour and

if we leave them hanging long enough - very sweet and juicy.

It is the view out of our room where the piano is standing.

 

 

 

It is a pity that the fantastic light can't be seen in this photo.

A collage of the finished "market basket" with handles -

I used exclusively batiks which make the bag somehow stiff.

And here again the cover cloth --- the cat is more friendly now

I cut his moustache - and operated a light smile into his face.

The advantage of such a cloth - it can be changed according to

the creator's mood.

If you are maybe following Jude Hill's blog you will recognize

her "beans". It was an "aha-moment" for me - (thank you Jude, for

this idea). I am slowly filling in spaces with left-over bits of thread...

.... in a colour matching the ajoining squares.

 

 

I found a little embroidery in one of my boxes and thought it

would just fit in. I stitched buttonholes around it and laced it

with the same red cotton a broder. I added two buttonhole lace points

in white. Sorry the tips were cut off by my photographer, ha!

 

I need a little give-away next week when our grammar school class

will meet for lunch in my home-town Stuttgart. So I used again

(how many times already) the tutorial of noodlehead to create

this pouch. It is my favorite tutorial.

I will fill in chocolates!
