I wrote this shortly after I wrote this tutorial for a simple, unpleated make up bag.

I hope you like it!

Necklines and armholes quite often are finished with a facing. While I do like facings and the clean finish that they create, sometimes its nice to not have all that extra fabric and instead use a binding to finish the edge. A bound neckline or armhole can give a clean and professional ‘ready to wear‘ look to your self made garment.
If you are wanting to create a professional ‘ready to wear’ look to your self-made clothing, you’ll be wanting to familiarise yourself with the term and technique of UNDER-STITCHING. Ever had a facing or pocket lining refuse to stay hidden and pop out for attention? Most likely its because it hasn’t been under-stitched.

Since completing my tailored jacket, I have become slightly obsessed with jackets in all shapes and sizes and can’t stop analysing every jacket I see; fit, type of collar, width of lapels, height of notches and depth of break points are all coming under scrutiny.

So here is my version of the three-dimensional wristlet that I call the Samosa Pouch, because it does look like one. Once you get the hang of it you can finish one in about one hour (including the quilting!).

I've only been saving the selvages cut from my quilting cottons for about a year or so. I thought it would take much longer than that to amass enough to make anything significant however, I was mistaken.
