A little simple pouch for back to school

Today I was thinking that maybe I should make something for the older girls.  When most moms call me they usually tell me that they wished I had something for their older daughters because of the beautiful fabrics.  Well, today I got the idea of this pouch.  It is easy to make, beautiful and most of all, very useful.  Girls can use it as a pencil case, as a pouch for their personal care stuff, makeup bag, etc.  Even moms can use it too.  The cool thing is that I make them with a nylon lining so that the exterior does not get dirty in case of an ink stain or lipstick.  I think that maybe this will be the beginning of some new ideas to develop.

CARING INSTRUCTIONS


Many of my customers ask me how to care for the pieces I hand make for them.  I am proud to say that I only use 100% Premium quality cottons and terry cloth.  Caring for these materials is easy but here are a few tips I use to care for my own.

1. Cotton can be easily laundered. It can withstand high temperatures (boiling water does not hurt the fiber).
2. Any good detergent can be used to wash cotton.
3. Chlorine bleach can be used safely on cotton whites. Use color safe bleach on dyed cottons. I prefer to spot treat the pieces with OXY clean.
4. Since cotton fibers are fairly inelastic cotton fabrics may wrinkle easily. And, fabric may need frequent pressing.
5. For longer life of the piece, please line dry.
6. I like to iron burp cloths and bibs to make them look line new.  With cotton a higher temperature setting is needed.
