Some Little Hand Sewing




This is a nice little project to practice my hand sewing skills. It took me, not consecutively, three Sunday afternoons to finish.

A quilting pattern from Hitomi Hanaoka’s lovely quilting book: 花岡瞳の針仕事―好きな布、好きな形…, the zipper pocket portion was supposed to be quilted with 1.5cm wide hexagons. 
But the small hexagonal patchwork was too challenge for me to accomplish, I thus omitted all the patchworks required and used a single piece of fabric instead.

I had so much fun sewing, but was disgusted with all the fabric scraps and thread ends mess… knitting keeps your room cleaner, isn’t it? 

April is coming. I am going to the Needlework Festival, as well as the Knitters Frolic! So excited!
