I wanted to take a couple of thank you gifts up to my cousins in Canada for helping me learn how to do a pantograph on the quilting machine! Since both of them are quilters, I decided to make each of them a Goody Goody Binding Kit.This kit is a fun way to store all of your quilt binding needs! It is cute as well as functional, and is perfect for on-the-go projects, as well as projects at home.You open it up to three different sections.
The first section has a zippered pocket that is perfect for keeping your binding clips and thimble in. The middle section has a thread holder, a needle holder and a pocket to keep your scissors in. And the third pocket is where you keep your goodies! That is why it is called a Goody Goody Binding Kit!
Because, after all what quilter does not need a treat or two when hand sewing a binding onto a quilt?I love these little scissors that I found at My Girlfriend’s Quilt Shoppe a couple of weeks ago! I call them stork scissors!
You can find the pattern for these Goody Goody Binding Kits from Lella Boutique. It is a free pattern with a wonderful tutorial on how to make these kits. It shows how simple it is to install a zipper and there are great tips to help you make your own. I changed the Goody Goody Binding Kits that I made by putting a rectangle pocket instead of the strawberry pocket. I did not think a yellow and grey strawberry would be very cute! :)You wrap the strap around the binding kit and tie it into a cute bow to keep everything in it’s place! I think that these are the perfect gift for any of your quilting friends. Really, they are a fun kit for a lot of other crafts too! What could you use this Goody Goody Binding Kit for?
We LOVE them, thank you so very much!
Kelly, Thank you for the wonderful time and for teaching me how to do pantographs. I am excited to try one on my own now. I need to get busy making more quilts! :)
