About this pattern

Stitch up protective cases for all your important lists and a little pouch so you'll never be left digging around for your pen again. This simple project is great for practising hand embroidery techniques and uses rectangular fabric panels so there's no tricky cutting involved. Choose a bold graphic print which you can use as a base for striking stitches. We've echoed the circle print with hand embroidery.

Using tailor’s chalk, draw around a circular item such as an eggcup to mark a sphere within the first printed circle that will be on the outside of the album. Secure a small embroidery hoop centred over the marked circle.

    2. Thread a needle with a length of all six strands of co-ordinating stranded embroidery thread and tie a knot in the end. Draw the needle through the work on the line marked, from back to front and up through the centre of a sequin. Pass the needle back through the fabric on the right of the sequin, on the marked line just beyond the edge of the sequin. Bring the needle up on the line just beyond the left edge of the sequin. Form a back stitch by passing the needle back through the centre of the sequin.

    3. Continue working in back stitch around the circle marked, adding sequins in random positions. Draw different sized circles within adjacent printed shapes, and work in back stitch within each one using different coloured embroidery threads, adding sequins on alternate motifs, moving the hoop as you work. Press the piece on the reverse.

    4. To make up the cover, press a 1.5cm turning towards the wrong side on each short edge. Straight machin
