~4.25" tall, 7.75" wide
Zipper pouches are perfect for keeping all kinds of things organized + they're so much prettier than a plastic bag! These are as durable as they are attractive + unique!
Made with attention to detail and only the finest ingredients, these Small Pouches feature Jen's Tie Prints* wool flannel fabric. They're quilted in a unique freeform design (created freehand, not computerized) with cotton thread + wool batting. Finished with Japanese cotton lining + antique brass YKK zipper (made in Montreal!)
What are Tie Prints? The wool starts off quite plain, then I transfer the dye directly from pieces of (men's) silk ties, effectively 'printing' the design directly from pieces of old ties onto a piece wool. It's not something I dreamed up, but I've spent many days (and nights) creating my own processes so that I can make work that is uniquely mine.
NO TWO ARE IDENTICAL!!
{Because the amount of fabric in a single tie is small + finite, making duplicates is impossible + experimentation is a constant!}
Care Instructions. Resilient + low maintenance, wool naturally repels water + stains. Do your best to soak up liquid spills when they happen with a paper towel or napkin. More solid messes should be left to dry, after which they can easily be scratched or brushed off + followed by a spot clean using a damp cloth. If a more thorough cleaning is needed: close zipper; hand or machine wash in cool water; on delicate cycle + lay flat to dry.
This pouch was designed + completely handmade by Jen in her home studio located in Orillia, Ontario, Canada.
