I originally designed the Honey Folk Patch-work pouch for the Soft Cloth Patchwork Workshop I teach. It’s a great way to use up smaller scraps of fabric and make a cute useful item for yourself or as a gift.

Handwork has always been my go-to when I need to feel calm and grounded. When we evacuated from our tiny forest in Sonoma County to San Fransisco during the 2019 fires I spent my days sitting on my friend’s couch mending their clothes and drinking tea. It made my heart happy in a really scary time.

I decided to make the pattern a free download because I think a lot of us need something constructive to do with our hands and minds during this crazy time. I think it would make a really sweet gift to send to someone to let them know your thinking about them. We all need kindness, compassion, and love right now more than ever.

I hope you enjoy this pattern.
