Sewing kit wrap.....a tutorial

When Mary and I traded addresses, it was implied that we were going to be mailing each other a gift.

When I got that ridiculously gorgeous yard of fabric and the beautiful bag that she had made, I knew that I had to reciprocate her generosity.  A gift for a beautiful gift.

I thought hard about what I wanted to send to her, but what do you give to the girl who can and DOES make anything for herself?

Something to help her in her creativity.... was what I came up with.

And so this is what I mailed off to the sweet and talented Mary.

A sewing wrap.

And now that I know that Mary got the wrap, I can share the directions with you.

error:  you only need three 4x4 cuts of  one printed cotton and one 4x4 cut of a coordinating cotton.

For the linen, I cut the hem off of two linen skirts that I got at the Thrift store.  They were pretty, but stained and I was glad to find a use for them.

Please note that the 1/2 inch measured in the above photo should READ one AND a half inches

Pin them into place now to make sure that they don't move.

 

Fill the wrap with pins and needles

Fold the wrap into thirds.

Tie the kit closed with a ribbon.

And send it off to a super sweet friend.
