Pouch: wool with cotton lining, 2011 (Skirt: cotton; Belt: leather, metal buckle) |
A square of black, white and maroon wool plaid had a destiny! Sewed it into pouch/coin purse and lined it with maroon cotton batiste (from the shoebox).
Carried the pouch in a shoulder bag, filled with a little cash, a metrocard and a bank card. Then an idea: belt loops. Slid the pouch onto a belt, et voilà, a quasi kilt and sporran!

Also sewn from the stash of fabrics: white stars on navy with cornflower blue pinstripe lining.
saw the piece in the NY TImes. Good for you! I've made my clothes, quilts, curtains, etc for years. It's well worth the effort to get good quality, not to mention the money saved. Good luck with making a living with your sewing. I'll be reading your blog.
