I’ve been getting back into using sealing wax on things, so recently acquired more wax sticks and seals. One thing I bought was a pack of 20 or so sticks (2 each of 10 or so colors) which came in a box that was not at all friendly to choose the color or even get them in and out. So I decided a pouch to put all the sealing wax and accouterments into was in order. And I had just the fabrics in my stash.
I had thought I would just dig up some navy blue to line it with when I came upon these flannel scraps that really reminded me of the inside of privacy envelopes… YEY!
Finally I remembered I had a pack of laser cut wood embellishments with a travel-theme! I drilled a hole, painted it up, added an enamel heart and used it as a zipper pull.
I didn’t bother with pattern matching at all as I treasure these discontinued Tim Holtz prints and don’t want to waste a centimetre! The airmail stripe is printed at an angle, so the binding tape is not cut on the bias.
It’s all stash and it feels a little use-the-good-stuff-y. Zipper from a very generous member or our community here! Finished size approximately 13" x 8" (33 cm x 20.3 cm).
