This week's project for Zakka Style Sew Along is an adorable sewing kit. I had a lot of fun making mine, it might just be my most favorite project in the whole book.
I used Essex linen in putty for the outside as well as pockets of the kit and the lining is by Aneela Hoey from her latest fabric collection Walk in the Woods. Aren't those little mushrooms just the sweetest?
I decided to do a little bit of hand stitching on the outside of the pouch as it seemed so empty with just one lonely owl stamped on it. I actually had a piece of red leather string on hand which makes for perfect ties and I think it works really well with the rustic look of linen.
I also made a log cabin fabric cover for my notebook. It's based on all the gorgeous log cabins Denyse Schmidt designs. I have to say, I am so totally in love with all things Denyse Schmidt right now.
And, I finished this month's blocks for my Trust Circle of do. good stitches bee. We used this tutorial. The block seemed quite complicated at first, but when I actually read the instructions and got myself organized both of them came together without any major hiccups.
Hope you all have a wonderful day. Svetlana
