Two new pouches with so much to tell about them. A piece of handdyed fabric is never without a story.

Five envelopes with 6 pouches! They are coming your way, but only when you live in Europe. I was not aware of changes in US postal service but unfortunately I can not ship to the USA any longer (until further notice). I started to embroider while I cycled the world. The first piece was made in Croatia. When I left for South America I had a little pouch with me that contained only the basics like needles, a scissor and some threads. I wanted to make pouches only from what I found on the road. I found a lot! We are back! Unexpected and surprisingly, we stepped into a minus 10 degree white world that makes Hungary our cold home. Yet a welcome home! Pouch Málaga found it's way into the world. I remember I started to form the stitching in Málaga and when flying back home a man next to me in the airplane commended me on the beautiful piece of fabric. New design that formed somehow automatically. First stage is drawing the pattern on hand dyed hemp cotton that I coloured with grape skin which served as tannin as well. Our housesitting comes to an end in a week. I think my project, which has no name yet but which might be called 'Il Banditos' will be finished as well. It took me long to finish this pulkari design on hand dyed fabric, mostly because I was just very occupied with other things.

CINDY NEEDLEART in a nutshell

Beautifying fabrics born of a desire to be creative while traveling.

The beautified fabric becoming a pouch.

A pouch can be as well an artful creation and yet keeping its practicality.
