Hand Trendy Pro Tips

Here’s my best advice for making your pouch extra special! Choose a high-quality floral print for a vintage-inspired look, and don’t be shy with contrast linings—they make the inside pop. If gifting, tuck in a personalized note or some small goodies. For keeping the pouch structured, a thin layer of interfacing can work wonders. Threading the drawstring is easier with a safety pin (trust me!). And for the ultimate pro finish, try adding decorative beads to the cord ends for a boutique vibe. Each project is a blank canvas—have fun and let your creativity shine!
