The embroidery is on white Essex Linen, so I backed the panel with some fusible fleece, and then followed my pattern that you'll find in this month's Love Patchwork & Quilting.
I adjusted the pattern for the flat pouch to fit the size of my embroidery, and I am really rather pleased with how it turned out.
A bit more of that home dec on the back, and it's all good.
This was all made up before 9am, I couldn't sleep!
I also finished up some commission work today, which is always nice to get under my belt. By my reckoning I only have two more stitchy 'commitments' to complete this summer holiday, and I am hoping to get one of those finished this evening, then it's all me me me!
So pretty, your mum will love it. Was it hard or easy to pick up the embroidery stitches?
