Handmade Embellished Glasses Pouch - Loop Flower SRE


Glass Pouch Embroidered with Silk Ribbon Loop Flowers


Larger Flowers are Loop Flower in 7 mm Soft Pink Pure Silk Ribbon.

Smaller Ribbon Stitch Flowers in Blue with soft green Ribbon Stitch Leaves. 

Larger Leaves from Loop Flower in Soft Green 7 mm.

Addition of Beads TOHO Seed Bead Mix - Hime Pink.

Just love working with these beads. The assortment of sizes gives so much variety and options all in one Mix.

And adding another layer with Czech Pressed Flowers, and small pieces of Hand Dyed Lace.

1. Begin with the Ribbon Embroidery. Allow more fabric than is necessary for the 

finished size of the glass case, as you will need to place in a hoop to complete the SRE. 


2. Mark out an area for the embroidery, tacking  down a piece of pellon at the back of the fabric. ( Be guided by the finished width of the case and glasses size.)


3.  Using a water erasable pen, mark the area for the larger Loop Flowers and smaller Ribbon Flowers.  The areas in between can be filled in with leaves, beads etc.


 4.Use the Loop Flower Links above to complete the Embroidery.


5. With Beading Thread add the Beads to the centres of the flowers, Pressed Flowers with Seed Bead Centre and some smaller beads scatter through the design.





6. Enlarge the fabric area with complimentary colours to form the front and lining of the pouch. Example:  Embroidered Fabric - Soft Rose Pink in Faux Silk.

Inside Lining - Gold Shot Dupioni. Pocket Fabric - Hot Pink in Silk Blend Shantung.




7.  Complete the two separate pieces. I have placed a fold in the top edge of each pocket, which I hand stitched over to close.

8. The curve was marked with the water erasable pen using the hoop as the guide.

9. Stitch the side seams of both pieces.

10. Turn the lining piece right way around.

11. Place inside the outer piece and stitch the embroidered fold over area with the curved edge as marked. 

12. Turn right side out and stitch the 2 folded edges together with hidden running stitch.

13. Add a press stud or magnetic stud for closure.



Reference is given to certain colours in this Project, but can easily be adapted to whatever fabric and Silk Ribbon you have at hand. I am sure there would be some Ladies on your Gift List who would be thrilled to get a Pouch like this, lovingly created by yourselves.
