Everyone loves a small project to get that instant feeling of completion. This little pouch is great for a weekend getaway, with a little needle-turn applique, a little stitchery and a little paperpiecing. The front of the pouch has a fun little flowerpot filled with daisies and the word 'Simplify' You could always change the word to house someone's name or something more apt.The back is hand-pieced using simple hexagons. It is completed using a zipper which has been put in totally by hand.

I was in the need of a new tote, which is often the reason why new projects come into being. This bag is the perfect size for me, at 12"x16", so big enough to fit my A4 documents, water bottle and everything else I need for my day, without it being too large and cumbersome to carry. This bag has a needle-turn applique image on the front which is finished with a ric rac border. The back of the bag boasts a pocket, and the gussets and base have an interesting pieced finish with ties to gather the gussets a little, and finish it off perfectly.
