Sunrise Pouch

PROJECT: 4 little cosmetic style bags, each with a personal embroidery detail, written by my daughter.

PATTERN: SUNrise Pouch by In Complete Stitches

FABRICS: Fabric Romance was my first port of call. Not only do I just adore Steph’s eye for fabrics, I’ve had an eye on her bag making kits so knew she stocked the perfect fabric and notions selection.
