Splendid Notions Pouch
Sewing Patterns
This roomy pouch is perfect to keep your sewing notions and small sewing projects at hand. It is large enough to stow a 4” embroidery hoop for hand embroidery projects. An inside pocket holds notions and scissors. A 6 1/2” quilt block is the focal point. Use an orphan block or make a special sewing themed block for your pouch. You can find the “Stitching Fashion” block at TheSplendidSampler.com during 2016. In 2017 you can find “Stitching Fashion” in the book “The Splendid Sampler” by Martingale Press.
