I decided to work on this Little Wanderer project from Tiffany Goff Smith, another in the line-up from the Making Zen retreat. The idea was to start with a shirt cuff, add layers of fabric scraps and stitch those all together to make a little pouch. Mine are much simpler. The green cuff came from a favorite old velour shirt, already embroidered so I didn’t want to cover that up with more fabrics or stitching. I used a simple blanket stitch to close the sides and changed the button from white to red. Voila! Perfect for holding my lip balm when I am out and about.
The black and white check cuff came from another shirt and since it’s a gingham pattern, nothing for it but to make a few rows of cross stitch! A new button, blanket stitch on one long edge and a heart-shaped earring complete this cute bag. EnJoy!
