I’ve been trying to do more things offline (I WONDER WHY) and last week I sewed up this coin purse kit I requested for Christmas. Pandas! Kits! Little pouches and bags! All of these things are my catnip.
The kit is from PopSewing and it had everything you’d need, down to a thimble. The tutorial was a video but the stitching was simple. Looking at the pictures, I assumed it would use a backstitch, but it was a real double needle saddle stitch, so that was cool.
This took a couple hours all told and went really smoothly–no issues pushing the needle through or with anything lining up. A successful arts-and-crafts-instead-of-doomscrolling session.
