Beautiful

Beautiful is a project carrier which has ribbons on both sides. Once Beautiful is finished it has a purpose, which is to set in your lap while stitching – you can put scissors, threads, etc. on it. If you need to pick it up quickly and move the project, you simply pull the ribbons on both sides and all of your stitching supplies will be inside.
The carrier will use soft yellow silk with cream and hint of blue on the outside and blue linen with cream or yellow stitching on the inside.
