Join me for a wander down “Sweet Pea Lane”. It’s a whimsical lane in a pretty, little village.

The magic of these three adorable houses is that as well as being very cute to display, they are also zippered pouches! They neatly stack inside one another- kind of like babushka houses really.

Combine the techniques of crochet, sewing and embroidery to create three sweet, lined pouches. The pouches also have hanging loops to display or carry them by.

Use scraps of cotton DK (8ply) and a crochet hook size 3.5mm / E to achieve bags of the same size as mine.

This downloadable 14 page PDF pattern contains written instructions with supporting photos to create the three different sized, fully lined house pouches. Also included are full-sized drawings of the embroidery designs and embroidery stitch how-to.

To complete the set of three houses you will also need:
felt scraps
fabric
fusible web
sew-in interfacing
3 zippers
non-fusible fleece
variety of trim as desired
embroidery floss
general sewing supplies
