Last summer one of my dearest friends gave me a gift card from the books store for my birthday. She knows I love craft books...I kept the gift card until last December that I found about this book thank you to Vintage Fairytale; that girl always makes me crave all her pretty fabrics and books.
Finally I got my new book, and I love it. Thank you dearest friend!! Today I made my first project:
The cosmetics pouch. All the projects in this book involve linen, and this was my first time working with it. I love the feeling of it and the warmth of its natural color. I see many of this pouches in my future. The possibilities to make them pretty are endless; besides, a pouch like this can be a great [girly] gift.
...little label just because. This project is so well explained, easy to follow. Let me tell you, this is the first time I make a pouch with a zipper. Zippers use to be the down side of my crafting, I was so afraid of them. They don't scare me anymore!!
And a picture of the matching lining. I'm so happy about this little craft!!!
Paloma, this looks wonderful. I love all the linen squares in it. The inside is a nice little surprise too. I can't wait to move and be able to unpack my books, fabric, and sewing machine and start making fun projects again. Hopefully soon.
Have a great weekend!

I have that book too - so far I have just drooled all over it and not made anything!
I LOVE the pouch though, so that might be my first make too!

I love the colors you choose. It looks very nice. One practical question : where do you have your labels done ???

Maybe I should grab a copy too! After my confinement, I'll start sewing again! Two quilts for my two lovely kids first.:)
