What to Make of it?
If you are anything like me - the stitching is the easy part and turning my finished embroidery into an equally beautiful and useful item can at times prove a bit of a challenge.
This is a collection of ideas and FREE simple patterns for you to use to make your finished pieces into something beautiful and useful.
I Love to share - but please keep in mind that these patters are for personal use only.
Please do NOT sell, give, or distribute the patterns as your own, digitally or printed.
BUT DO absolutely use them to make your own pieces and if you share the things you make, a link to this page is very much appreciated.
Thank you for understanding and respecting my hard work. Anna

This little zipped pouch is the perfect size to carry small embroidery or other needlework projects. It has three, small pockets inside. The pouch measures 15cm x 22cm wide ( 6" x 8 5/8"). I used my VERY, VERY BERRY crewel embroidery for this pouch. You can find the embroidery kit HERE. The same pattern can also be used for the TULIPA BIRD.

Rectangular PillowMany embroidery designs lend themselves to square pillows. By simply adding a piece of complementing print fabric at each side, you can easily make a beautiful bolster style pillow instead.
