Hello! Last spring I had a lot of fun stitching a binding kit…perfect for holding scissors, needles, thread, binding clips, and with an extra pocket to spare!
This is a free PDF pattern designed by my friend Vanessa Goertzen. You
can find the tutorial for the binding kit on her blog, Lella Boutique. Anyway…I loved my binding kit, but I kept wishing I had used Soft & Stable instead of batting for the interfacing of the main body piece.
Just recently I quilted up a piece of Soft & Stable, and I was ready to go. Instead of the strawberry pocket in the pattern, I used three 1 ½″ x 3 ½″ strips, sewed them together and then used a 3 ½″ x 3 ½″ square for the lining.
The kit is small enough to take
anywhere (I love having it all ready to go at a moment’s notice), and
yet big enough to hold plenty of binding clips (I love binding clips).
And I’m really so glad I took the time to make another one…I gave my first one to my daughter, and she loves it…so it went to a good home!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

This is fab! And so beautiful. There's always something I can't lay my hands on when I'm ready to sit down and turn the binding. You may have even convinced me to tackle a zipper!
