Poppy Sewing Companion

Now I love Poppies and when I saw the Textile Heritage pattern called 'Poppy Meadow' I had to have it. 

I loved the design but I didn't care for some of the colours so I tweaked! 

The first thing that I made with the pattern was this little sewing companion. It is just big enough for my much loved stork scissors, a needle threader and some needles. The only thing that was missing was a needle rest. I find these invaluable tools when stitching and so I added a drop down needle rest featuring, you've guessed it, my favourite flower.

Inside I added a hint of embroidery and bright yellow blanket stitching.
