Tiny Devotional Pouches

Tiny Devotional Pouches

Some of my first sewing projects involved making small purses. (I love a good bag. So much to carry). 

Nowadays, I consider my textile endeavors to be devotional objects, especially when there is a lot of hand stitching, embroidery, and applique’ involved. 

I got inspired by Gudrun Sjoden’s neck pouches and wanted to try making my own. 

I decided on three approaches, but I am sure there are limitless possibilities here. 

These tiny pouches are meant to be worn like a necklace, but they could also be wall art -maybe a spot to tuck away tiny treasures. 

Check out photos below to see all four pouches in detail.  

Below the photos are instructions for making your own quilted version!
