Stitching for 2011

This Camelia Pouch is the first thing I have made from a gorgeous book I got for Christmas. Filled with lots of tiny hand made makes - every page is tempting me to make something.
Most of the projects say they can be made in an evening or a few hours, but this one took me about three weeks as I didn't have a lot of spare time to stitch.
I did enjoy doing the hand stitching and found it quite therapeutic.
The pouch is just the right size for my mobile phone, although I was making it with the intention of using it for my MP3 player - I will just have to make another one now. It is felt lined and padded with an extra layer of felt and trimmed with scraps of felt and fabric made into flowers with lots of tiny beads stitched on. I was really pleased with the result and keen to start something else now!
