Zari Jewellery Pouch

Zari Jewellery Pouch
This little pouch designed by Cathy was inspired by a visit to India where 'Zari' embroidery using metallic wire on black velvet, has a long history. We are using black cotton velvet, copper wire & colourful DMC threads, with Liberty print lining*. The completed pouch measures 15 cm x 10 cm and would make a lovely gift.

*Please note that there are a few kits left with Indian check silk lining. See photo below.
