I have finished this beautiful embroidered pouch.
I took a while to work out how to finish it. I didn’t have any more fabric and it was backed and quilted with satin. I wasn’t happy with seeing the exposed seams and didn’t want to just overlock them. I decided to do a French seam. The ribbon holes were machine stitched buttonholes. The top of the bag was folded over to create the casing. It is the size of a hot water bottle.
After threading the ribbon through I attached little flowers to finish it off.
I am so thrilled with how it turned out.
