This is a gorgeous hand stitched pouch made with a 100% Kona cotton that I botanically printed with an iron mordant, giving it an array of lovely purple dogwood, blackberry, willow herb, and bitter dock root impression.

I lined it with a lovely, soft black Tencel twill fabric and sewed in a black cotton twine drawstring for securing the bag. I stitched with a cotton hand-quilting thread around various dogwood and blackberry leaves. I also made a very pretty and simple accent embroidery design on the back, where I took a little scrap of silk charmeuse and stitched it down using a couching stitch, and surrounded it with a blanket stitch, making a pretty little circle, maybe its a pond, a mirror, a little web, or a sun, its up to you :)

I think this bag would make a great little travel makeup bag or a pencil pouch! It is quilted with a layer of flannel for structure and a little extra padding for your items!
