This is the first time I have made one of these pouches, when I make it again I will put another band of fabric under 'too many shoes' to improve the appearance of the bag. I used iron on fleece (Pellon) to give the bag some support.
Stitching news
I have not done much stitching on Santas Village but hopefully I will catch up with that soon.
I have also been making another box and that will be available over the next week or so, think vintage lace, silk and embroidery!
This week I received a lovely email from a lady called Mary (no blog) she kindly sent me photographs of a toblerone she made using my tutorial. I think Mary has done herself proud as she has made a beautiful toblerone using a Plum Street cross stitch pattern. You can see the photos below.
Congratulations Mary on such a wonderful finish!
Blue work in progress
I had just steam pressed the fabric and then I wrote the words on too quickly and the words bled - oops!
I hope the thread covers the lines!

Great project & the saying is so true, isn't it? :)
Mary did a beautiful job on the toblerone. I love the colors, so great for fall. Thank you for sharing.
Hugs,

Love your bag! SO cute! I also love what Mary did. Such an inspiration for me to stick with my stitching. The end result is so worth it!
Thank you for sharing!

Lynne, love that shoe design! Funnily, when I was stitching the parasols I was thinking about a shoe to go with it although I was thinking along the lines of a leg in mesh stockings with a garter and wearing a high heel .... too daring?!?!?! Must have been the red beads that I added to my parasol. :D
Mary's toblerone is quite lovely.
Ah better words have never been written! Its adorable.
True! :D
