Jewelry Pouches for My Daughter

I made these for some Christmas gifts last year.
My daughter wanted one so here I am finally getting around 
to making her one.
I had enough fabric so make several extra ones.
They are easy to make.
Enjoy the steps of making a jewelry pouch with my
pictures below.


1. cut circles of contrasting fabric two at 12" and two at 8.5"


 
2. Iron in half.
 3. Sew buttonholes on outer portion of 12" circle approximately 3/4" from outer edge.

4. Sew the 12" circles right sides together.  
Then do the same for the 8.5" circle.
I used a 1/4" seam.

5. Then cut a hole into the center to turn the right side out.
Iron flat.


6. Sew the outside edge of the 12" circle  2 times for the ribbon.
7. Lay the two circles on top of one another and stitch together.
I used the green pattern in the picture for my "bottom" and stitched around it
then made spokes away from the "bottom" to create the pockets.
8. Add the ribbon of choice for the drawstring and your all done.



Enjoy your finished project!!!

Tatting Press - Again

 These are two new tatting presses I have made.  One is for me because I liked the fabric so much I wanted to make myself one.  The second one is for my darling daughter even though she does not tat yet.  She begged me to make her one.  I am happy with the outcome.  I did change this pattern to include a smaller width of ribbon.  I think I like it better than the wide ribbon.  I love the sea green fabric.  I think it is very nice.

Tatting Press

YEAHHHHHH!!
I am finally finished with my two tatting presses.
(I am sorry the pictures seem somewhat blurry,
I am not good with taking pictures.)
I am pleased with the outcome.
This second tatting press is for myself.
I like this idea so much.
Such a fun way to store my tatting and carry it with me.

I have already put my press to use.
I am working on a doily that uses size 30 thread.
It will be tiny when I am finished.
More pictures to follow of my doily.

HAPPY TATTING!!!!!!
