- I’m this video I share how to create a standing pouch to hold your cotton reels or threads.
I’m using an old patchwork hexi fabric book cover but you could definitely make this from scratch too.
I show you how you can decorate your pouch with vintage inspired covered buttons - which I shared in this video:
• DIY easy no kit fabric...
An alternative to the trifold pouch I made for Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery #roxysjournalofstitchery January prompt.
A great little slow stitching pouch to hold your threads on your craft room table or when travelling.
Cheers,
Christine

Christine, this is a cute little pouch. What a good idea. You’ll be overflowing with ideas after the workshop!
Thanks Martha - I’m going to get lots of use out of this one - it will definitely be travelling with me. We have an extra week of holidays after the retreat with Fleur so I’m looking forward to lots of relaxed stitching 🤗 cheers, Christine
You’ve given me another must make project. It looks like I could do this in an evening no problem.
Thanks Candice - love a handy little project. P.s have been away for a few days with work so I’m looking forward to getting your package sent to you this weekend. Cheers, Christine
Beautiful. Great idea. Thanks Christine
Thank you Anita 🤗
That’s a really lovely design. The hex pattern is beautiful, and it’s so handy! I’m imagining it hanging over the arm of a porch chair or something so it’s handy for evening sunshine stitchery.
That’s a great idea for this 💙🧵🪡
Beautiful clever design Christine, love all those hexi and the colours are beautiful. ❤
Thanks Joanne - I was happy to give new life this this beautiful old and well loved piece 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
🥰 I am going to do this. Thanks for sharing, Christine.
Glad this provided some inspiration for a new project Vanessa 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Fab pouch, hope you are having a lovely trip, sounds wonderful ❤
Thank you so much - the retreat with Fleur Woods is absolutely incredible and I am filled with creative energy and so much joy 💙🧵🪡
Thank you for being my stitching partner today , I just love that quilting, I really need to make some more bags for myself, I've instructed my husband not to give stash to the charity shop on my death but to give to a sewing community like you say I'd hate to think to all those threads and fabrics ending up in land fill😢
So special to share stotching time with my stitchy friends - I do think of you all while stitching and chatting away. I think Alex wants to send my stash away while I’m still living 😂 cheers, Christine
Such a clever design and so pretty Christine, love it, I shall definitely be making one of these, it will be a great way to use a piece of kawandi-style quilting, thanks for another inspiring idea :)
This will look wonderful with one of your fabulous kawandi pieces Annie 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
I love this! Would love a tutorial on the construction of this pouch. For the middle pouch it looks like you had an extra long lining to fold up to make the middle pouch.
Thanks Mary - I will see if I can create a full tutorial next time 🤗
A lovely project, thank you.
Many thanks Jean 💙🧵🪡
I'd venture to make the center pocket area wider -like the binding of a book. It would give you the space to flip the thread pockets over each other and wrap with twine and wrap around your precious cloth buttons. It is very nice!!!
Have fun making this and I love that you’re thinking how you can make it work really well for your needs 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Love your video💕 Such a clever idea! Definitely a project I want to try. Thank you for the dimensions. Your covered buttons are gorgeous. Will be checking out your "how to" video so I can try them as well. Take care🥰
Thank you - have fun with this and the covered buttons (which are rather addictive 🤗) cheers, Christine
Thanks for sharing, your work is inspiring and beautiful. I Enjoy your videos !!! 🪡🧵♥️
Thank you dear Lisa - really appreciate your kind words 💙🧵🪡
Such a great design, Christine. I am definitely going to give this a go! Hoping to do a lot of stitching outside this coming summer, so this should work well. By the way, if you consider yourself 27 years of age, your parents could actually be in their 40's, let alone 50's! 😉 I like to think stitching keeps us young (er).
Summer stitching outdoors sounds like a wonderful plan! Stitching definitely keeps us young and age is but a number 💙
Supper cool idea. I’m thinking three of my swap squares across on each side will do the trick. Love the pocket in the middle I’m sure I could make this as well, will place on my list of things I want to sew when I have time, lol list is getting a little longish but I can so use fabric buttons so this would be two ticked of list. My excuse so sticking to it. Um did house work bit of cleaning, had a cuppa and stopped world war three (cat and dog playing together this morning, dog always losses and invariably ends up with a scratch for no this is enough) all while watching, gosh I’m supper accomplished today. Yep weather here very strange (WC SI NZ) we are having lovely fine weather but out of no where we get this mist, it’s not wet it’s just misty very strange. Can’t see the house across the street or next door also makes walking the dog at times very interesting, mist will clear and your back to a supper sunny warm ish day. Trees are starting to turn little early for this mind we don’t have many trees like this here mostly covered in native bush.
What a fabulous idea for your swap squares! Sounds like there is never a dull moment with your furry friends 😆 and that mist sounds very intriguing (and would no doubt make for magic mystery tours)! Just back from a few days away with work on regional Victoria and passed back through very smoky conditions as there are bad bushfires near Ballarat. Glad to be home. Cheers, Christine
I so wish you would of made one with us😢 but i am going to try to figure it out ty for sharing
Great idea! Lovely.
Thank you Joanne 🤗
