Liberty Sewing Portfolio

I have been waiting a little while to reveal my latest free pattern/ project .  This was a project designed for Liberty Lifestyle.  I was asked to come up with something for an intermediate sewer so I designed a mini sewing portfolio travelling case.
 All the fabrics are from the Bloomsbury collection and you can find detailed instructions, labelled photographs and downloadable diagrams at the Liberty Craft Blog.
It is the perfect size for travelling to sewing classes, or carrying small projects to sew on the go and there are pockets everywhere.  I promise the zip is not as scary as it looks and the binding covers up all the zipper stitching as a bonus.  The scissor zip pull was from Ayumi!  I wish I could find more things like that here, cute and practical.
You will find is an interview with me there too.   From past attempts, I have not been able to get comments to work on the Liberty blog but you can find other projects like Katy's Bloomsbury Stripes quilt and Jessie's star decoration , so go visit, share on Facebook, tweet and if you make one do send me a pic!

    It looks great! I think I will try to make one today if I will find the right zipper.

    That is stunning Kerry - but I'm not sure I agree with your comment about sun all year round! I'm certainly missing out!

    Love this, it really shows off all the bright fabrics - from my youth I always associated Liberty with very subdued tones, so hopfeully this will help people revise their opinions!

    Looks fabulous. Do you have a link to a photo of this on Flickr as it would be great to add to some inspiration mosaics. The Flickr link from your icon on the left doesn't seem to work. Thanks x

    Thank you for another great and amazing tutorial! Thank you for sharing the photo shots of how you insert zippers. I always found sewing zippers in curves is difficult. Love this sewing portfolio... :)

    It's beautiful, Kerry! And the ZIPPER PULL -- that was like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Absolutely perfect down to the smallest detail. Well done!
