Just a quick little post about some actual crafting. A new patchwork pouch:
It's just big enough for my passport and a few other odds and ends. I've been planning to make a new purse for a while -- making little piles of fabric on top of my bookcase, seeing what goes well together. I've come up with a mixture of Liberty prints, some swatches of coordinating fabric from the Cloth House, and a lovely (cute!) Japanese print from superbuzzy. And linen.
Purses and bags always take a long time to make it from my head to reality, because I want to come up with a new design, find just the right fabric, and plan it all out before I start. I almost never write anything down, so I have to sort of 'memorize' all the details and get it all straight in my head. But making this pouch was easy and straightforward, and it's given me a boost to get working on the matching purse. Because I just want to see it now!
Absolutely beautiful. I love linen with patchwork...
