Red and Aqua – Take 4

October 12, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 27 Comments

I promise this is the last red and aqua you will see from us this week. When I spotted the tutorial for Stitched Felt Flowers over at Red Brolly, I couldn’t resist playing with some red and aqua felt.

This is the perfect project to do in front of the TV. I added a brooch backing to mine – it is the perfect way to add some colour to a gift package and it can then be repinned to a bag or hat etc.

To find out how to make you own stitched felt flowers, head on over to Red Brolly for the tutorial.  Wouldn’t a bouquet of felt flowers look gorgeous!

    the red and aqua flower is just beautiful! I love how charming it looks with that ribbon, adorning the gift box. I love the layers of the flower, especially the little white dots on the red flower. Sweet!

    Beautiful red and aqua felt flowers. The best thing about this fabulous color combination is, that you can use it all year long. So very versatile, and I love that!

Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouc Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouch today — a sweet little project that’s as practical as it is pretty. I stitched this one in the blue and gold colourway of the Tilda Songbird collection and love how the soft watercolour florals shine in a small make. The pouch features cleverly shaped panels (with no boxed corners), stands tall when in use, and folds completely flat for storage. It’s also reversible, which makes it such a fun and versatile sew.   These little pouches are perfect for organising your sewing room, gifting to a friend, or popping into a project bag.The pattern includes three sizes, and you can find it in both my Pattern Store and Etsy shop. Comment HANDY and I’ll send the link straight to your inbox.A big thank you to @tilda_australia for gifting the beautiful fabric.#tildasongbird #drawstringbagpattern #aspoonfulofsugardesigns #tildafabrics #sewingproject
