Violet Pompadour Bag

 Too many cash left from different coutries. This was my inspiration for this type of bag that I've had in my pins for a long time.

Two big and two small circles. One of the big circles has a hole on the outside, right above the small circle's edge. Sewing around the edge, turning to the right side and adding one more line of stitches to flatten the hem.
Making the bottom and eight compartments, one for each country's cash.
Adding a tunnel for the fastening cord.
The cord must have stoppers at the end and mustn't be too long so that the pouch doesn't open too much for the content to drop out.
Lovely type of bag!

Chisel and Carving Knife Guards

My chisel and carving knife desperately need some case so that they can come to the forest with me in my bagpack. I used this tool to make all the holes for the big chisel. When you want a neat result, it's essential.
An odd hole was left at the middle, which was actually the best that could have happened.
Home-made stitching pony :-D
A long book between my knees.
I don't have the edge paint yet. So nail lacquer was used.
Ready to set off!
