Sewing Kit

Here are a few sewing kits I recently made.

I like to sew on the go,

and I thought this might be nicer that a plain old ziploc.

 I took all the things I had been carrying around in my fancy ziploc and laid them out on a piece of paper.

I needed a place for embroidery floss, needles, pin cushion, thread and scissors.

Then I cut 2 pieces of happy fabric and cotton batting to the desired size.

Placing the fabrics right sides together with the batting on top of both, I stitched around the edges leaving a hole for turning.

After trimming corners, turning and closing the hole by hand stitching, I stitched lines where I wanted my kit to fold and began sewing on the flaps, pockets and such.

This makes a great gift.

 Which is what I ended up doing with the ones I made. So I still have my fancy ziploc.
