Zakka Style Sewing Kit

We are now in Week #4 the Zakka Style Sew Along!

Time flies when you're having fun!

{Join us...details are at LRStitched!}

This week's project is a sewing kit contributed by Theresia Cookson

of minoridesign.blogspot.com.

{This week's blog post is by Katy from Monkey Do.  Visit her for more inspiration!}

Allow me to introduce my prim and proper version...

ivory linen with dainty polka dots of navy on a pistachio background,

and a little scissors applique.

{Deceptively innocent, no?}

But when you open it up...hello!!!

A field of funky flowers greets you, 

inviting you to start your next sewing project.

{Who needs coffee?}

I love that this project is so functional and pretty...

I used fabric ties to hold it all together, 

instead of the leather strips suggested in the book.  

I like the pop of color they add.

And I love that I could make it have its own unique personality.

{or two!}

It looks so cute, all filled up with notions and what-not!

That divided pocket stole my heart!

So are you convinced yet that you need this book?

of this sewing kit and pincushion!}
