Like my new Travelling Chelsea Sewing Pouch?

I got home from the hospital and didn’t really feel like dinner. A roll with mum’s gehackte leberlach (home-made delicious best-in-the-world chicken liver “pate”) was all I wanted. I sat at my desk and read my emails. And then I had an idea.

Several unpicked buttonholes and hours later, here’s what I made. Luck was on my side all through the process – that little bit of orange/red topstitch cotton I’d found in my stash lasted through several unpickings and right to the last stitch, with not a single bit left on the spool, and nothing left on the bobbin. Amazing!
