I made this handing sewing kit using the largest flower folds die. The fabric is from Stampin’ Up’s Sew Suite line in the Occasions Mini. The miniature spools of thread are available in a variety of inexpensive sewing kits. You will also need some batting and chip board.
1. Cover the chip board with some coordinating card stock and cut out using the flower folds die.
2. Cut an extra piece of chip board the octogon shape from the centre of the flower. If you add some shims the embossing lines will do most of the cutting for you.
3. Cut the fabric slightly larger than the octogon, add some stuffing and make the pin cushin for the centre. If you need further instruction here's a video
4. Punch two holes in each flower petal, insert some ribbon and tie the spools of thread in place.
5. Tie a piece of ribbon through one of the holes to hang your sewing kit.
That is awesome......a great gift for my sewing friends. Thanks Jackie for sharing this idea!

I was just racking my brain to think of something unique to show the local quilter's guild in their program this month. How perfect is this!
Thanks much,
