Note: Read all the instructions

before starting the project.

Note the finished size of the

pouch and if you want to store

longer knitting needles, adjust

the cutting accordingly at

the start. It is recommended

that fabrics be 100% cotton,

pre-washed and well ironed.

Requirements are based on

fabric 107cm (42in) wide and

batting at least 135cm (53in)

wide. The Kona Solid and

Liberty Tana Lawns that

Shannan used are shown in

brackets. Shannan used a

continuous zipper and zipper

pull for her pouch and you

could use one of these if you

prefer. A seam allowance of

(^1) ⁄ 4 in is used throughout, unless
otherwise stated. Work all the
embroidery with three strands
of thread unless otherwise
stated. The embroidery designs
are printed in reverse on the
Pattern Sheet for use with
a transfer pencil. If you want
to trace them directly with
another marker, you’ll need
to flip the Pattern Sheet over
and put a strong light source
behind the paper. The appliqué
method is fusible web with
hand embroidery. Instructions
are given for using the printed
Pattern Sheet in the magazine,
but you can also download
the digital patterns from
http://www.homespun.net.au and
print them out.
