Past pouches

I have been making some tentative plans for sewing and embroidery over the Christmas break, but there is just too much to do, and too little time! To inspire and motivate myself, I have put together a few pages of items that have been finished. Today, some pouches:

'Mouse pouch' - a Lochac children's award

'Mouse pouch' - a Lochac children's award

Mouse pouch

Here is a photo of the mouse pouch I made last year. I have three more in the 'to do' pile.

The pouch is made of red linen and lined with red linen. The mouse is made of appliqued wool felt and surrounded by white linen chain stitch. It doesn't show up properly, but the mouse has 3D whiskers. The eyelets are hand stitched, and the cords were luceted by Heather.

For those in the SCA in Lochac, the instructions can be found here - http://www.sca.org.au/broiderers/Docs/mouseguard_pouches_instructions.pdf
