Pixie Kit sewing pattern (2 sizes)
This is the Pixie Kit pdf sewing pattern from the designer Rosie Taylor Crafts.
With two different versions to choose from, this useful little sewing kit is perfect for keeping all your sewing essentials handy when you’re away from home. It has a pincushion, pocket, needle keeper and a place to store your reels of thread. For crafting on the go!
Sew the exterior in a single fabric to keep it simple, or pick out all of your fabric scraps and create a pretty patchwork exterior. Instuctions are included for both.
Skill level:
The designer rates her sewing project as suitable for intermediate sewers. Being able to apply bias binding would be useful but not essential as the designer provides detailed instructions on this.

- Complementary or matching cotton fabric print for the pocket,

- Linen or cotton for the lining, pocket lining and pincushion base,
