Give every tool a place
A small desk feels generous when the active project fits in a tray. Choose the Felt Envelope Pouch for a few fabric pieces and a needle, the Watercolour Leaf Study for one sheet and a cup, or the Folded Photo Display for a ruler and cardstock. Put scraps in a shallow box lid and return the scissors there whenever you pause.
- Felt Envelope Pouch — fold and stitch one 6 x 12 inch felt piece.
- Watercolour Leaf Study — paint on three 5 x 7 inch sheets.
- Folded Photo Display — score one 7 x 10 inch sheet.
Clear the desk before you begin and measure the space where the finished piece will live. Keep water away from paper and photos, and store a needle in a closed case rather than in the work. When the session ends, leave the next step visible in your guide so returning tomorrow takes less effort.
A tray with a ruler, scissors, and one small dish keeps the active area calm. Return unused strips and ribbon to their envelopes so the next session begins with a clear surface.
