I did do it all over again with different colors and fabrics and a lot less buttons. This one is not nearly as heavy and I think more likely to be used.
For the pocket, I used two fabrics from the Chateau Rouge collection by French General for Moda Fabrics. The outside of the pocket is Laurette, pearl on red. The lining is behind the pocket on the dark print, Flatetta, red on pearl.
Just Cross Stitch magazine has begun to publish the sampler I stitched. The January/February 2013 issue has the first part. It will be published in 6 parts. Beginning in September, I put everything that I was stitching for myself aside to stitch it. I think it turned out very well. Here is a link to the magazine but unfortunately at the time I posted this, it did not feature the current issue.

The fabric envelope is darling, what do you plan to use it for?
I would use it to keep the threads and other things for a cross stitch project in one place. I have no idea what this one will do as it is a gift.
The project bag is gorgeous Linda
Love the red rendition. I've looked several places including B&N and BAM, but have not found the current JCS.
Will continue to look for your stitching. Merry Christmas Hugs.
