Blue Woolen Belt Poach

 I missed embroidery in my life so I made something for sale to medieval bazaar. I picked a woolen pouch with some design from real medieval textiles.

Here are just some pictures of how I made the strings for hanging. I tied two pieces of wool of different colors that would match the design. I used a drill to twist it and when the twist was tight, I folded it in half. It twisted together nicely.

Medieval pouches were often decorated with tassels, so I added some to the corners and to the fastening cords.

Ready to ship!

Round Hanging Bread Pouch

 I wanted to try this type of bag, and I needed something to dry my bread leftovers for animals in.

I made some basic patter for seven segments with darts and a circle with circumference of the lower edge.
I sewed the side panel on a material that rags are made of.
I made the tucks, sewed the side seam and secured the edges in place with a line of stitches, as the fabric is very thick.
Quilting at the bottom piece.
Lining has the same shape.
I attached the lining at the upper edge and covered with a band that I prepared with iron.
I left some space before and after the end and stopped sewing to get the ends together.
I finished the band with a line of stitches in the seam at right side so that it's hidden.
Cute rounded pouch.
Looks funny :-D
