CHARM ABOUT YOU

My sewing is often influenced by my mood - for this project I was feeling happy, a sense of modern whimsy and wanting to reach for something NEW took over. As the pattern is my own and I have made a few versions now, that bit is familiar but you can still experiment with something you've made before. The needle case can be a quick make or a nice way to incorporate a bit of patchwork or embroidery.

This is why I decided to make another and test out some 'new to me' embroidery stitches. As it's only a small project and not on display, it doesn't really matter if it's not great or I found I didn't enjoy sewing certain stitches.

Wouldn't you know that the opposite became true?! I found three embroidery stitches I really like and, even though I didn't labour over my fabric choices, the mix of fabrics turned out well. There may need to be more snap decisions in my future.
