Bunny in the Blackberries – pouch

$17.50

Bunny in the Blackberries – zipper pouch
Finished size – 8″ long x 5 1/2″ high

– A timid bunny hides in the blackberries as he keeps your treasures safe inside. The same design is reversed on the back, creating a bunny shaped pouch complete with face, tail and dimensional ears.

– All embroidery is sewn with simple stitches. Two thread colours are used together to give the blackberries and leaf veins a variegated look. The threads, and therefore colours, twist as you sew, resulting in colour variation from one stitch to the next. The embroidered blackberries are complemented with double-sided fabric flowers, cut from easily made “double-sided fabric”. The flowers are attached to the panels with central embroidery, leaving the edges free to sit up a little from the background. This adds an extra dimensional feature to the design.

– Being completely hand sewn, this design is perfect for anyone needing a portable project. The “Bunny in the Blackberries ~ zipper pouch” pattern includes iron on transfers for both embroidered panels, full sized pattern sheets and an abundance of photographic and illustrated instruction.
