You might have seen my previous posts where I have been contemplating what to do with some 1.5" vintage squares in my scrap collection ..... (if not see my previous post).
Well ..... Yay! .... today here is my Mini Travel Kit finished!
"Weighing In" at approximately 3.5" x 4.5"(9 x 12 cms),
with a Mini Pincushion, approximately 1 3/4"(4.5 cms) in diameter.
I also used quite a few larger pieces from my Vintage Scrap bag.

| Ta -dah! Complete with Mini pincushion! |
Back

| And, here's a Mini home made button! |
I am sure you will be able to see the "secret method" I have employed to attach to whichever handbag I happen to be using!!!
 |
| ..... pockets empty ..... |
Oh, and did I say? .... that large creamy expanse in the middle ..... might some day be a suitable place to add an embroidered name tag ..... and, darn it, that reminds me I haven't added a label!

I couldn't finish without a photo of some of the wild (Mini) strawberry flowers in our garden, complete with Mini bee (please ignore the other wild plants in the view).

You certainly are in a mini mood! Love the little sewing kit. I might need to make something similar.
It's lovely, I especially like the tiny pincushion, very pretty.
Great idea. It will be very useful.
Very cool!

So clever! .... and most importantly, will definitely come in handy :)
A cute and lovely sewing kit. I love it! :-)
Hi Barbara, this mini is just adorable. I love the colors and that adorable pincushion. The only question is can it hold enough pins for the project? Haha, I actually made one too small once, so I always think about that with mini-pincushions. You must have a pretty large stash of vintage fabrics.
Thanks for coming by!
Oh, yum!!! I remember spending hours picking wild strawberries when I was a kid. They were SO good!! Your latest sewing kit is absolutely perfect. It's obvious that there was a lot of thought that went into its creation!
That is a good idea and it looks great :)
That is so lovely Barbara - small is beautiful! and your travel kit certainly is. xx
That's a cute stitching accessory!!! Hmm....yummy strawberries! Hopefully you get a lot of berries :)
Clever and pretty, Barbara, another great project.

Thank you, Rachel!
We have many strawberry flowers this year, but there have been a lot of frosty mornings ..... we heard on a gardening programme that if the centre of the flowers go black we will have lost the strawberry! So we are hoping we have seen the last of the frost now! We'll see!

Thank you, Mary! I will only use the pin cushion for my travel stitching, and mostly as a needle keeper ..... generally I will then only be using the odd one or two pins.

Gorgeous kit and so useful Barbara. Pretty colours and a very handy pincushion, perfect.
