I just finished my seventh project from the Making Zen retreat, this lovely little Stitcher’s Pocket Companion from Giovanna Zara. I started with a piece of denim from old jeans that I lined with lavender felt and stitched over. The pockets are made from the gorgeous fabric in the first image, so colorful!
I chose buttons and embroider floss to harmonize with the pocket colors, adding the blue button to the closure first so I could stitch around it. Next I added the green button and embroidered the front, and finally copied the pocket pattern onto the back with a woven Spiderweb in the center and rays made with French Knots. I got them larger by using 6 strands of floss instead of the customary three. The whole thing is finished off with a hot pink ribbon to close the pouch. EnJoy!
