{"product_id":"boro-style-drawstring-pouch","title":"Boro-style Drawstring Pouch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pouch is inspired by the Kinchaku bags of Japan. I had a grand idea for a vest, which turned out to be impractical, but I was able to upcycle the fabric I’d made into the pouch. Pieces of cotton had been stitched together by machine and then decorated with hand stitched sashiko (running) stitch and some decorative stitches. The hand-stitching uses dyed cotton, varying from light green to light mauve along its length. A fine iron-on interfacing layer inside holds the stitches in place, as the stitches were cut to make the pouch. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drawstring is threaded through ‘koki’ – traditional Japanese metal loops which hold the cord. The cord is dark blue cotton. The lining is fabric from the same failed vest, without the hand stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI use a pouch to hold my embroidery when I go out, but it can be used in many ways, such as holding cables and air buds, makeup, wrapped sweets, medicines, driving glasses and wipes or pens and sketching tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fabric and threads are all cotton. The only non-natural fabric is the interfacing to keep the stitching stable. The koki are metal. I suggest gentle, cold hand washing and then drying in the shade. It can be ironed on a cotton setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pouch has 4 sides 19.5 x 15.5 cm, with a square base 15.5 x 15.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe price you pay, minus packing and shipping, will be donated to WIRES, the Australian Wildlife Rescue Association.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Kindly Tortle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50923673977138,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/3150\/0338\/files\/xegrsv_jpg_35f15b87-1e79-4ba9-9da7-45168804d343.jpg?v=1771741205","url":"https:\/\/madeit.surf\/products\/boro-style-drawstring-pouch","provider":"Madeit Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
