April Kimberbell Club: Modern Patchwork Zipper Pouch

Finished Size: 4 1/2" x 6 1/2"

Funny thing about the modern, as times change, so does its definition. From piecing scraps by hand with needle and thread to our present-day embroidery machines, the modern sewing movement has had quite the evolution. The combination of a simple patchwork strip with contemporary techniques like quilting in the hoop, gives this zipper pouch a subtle sophistication in all four sizes. Just right for sewing notions, makeup and other essentials, Kimberbell zipper pouches are fully lined with no raw edges or stabilizer showing.
