Three small felt cats lean together on the front of each pouch: one pink, one white, one fuchsia, with stitched whiskers and little black noses. The white cat often wears a red heart. It is the sort of pouch that makes you smile when you reach into a bag to find it, and the zip pull ends in a soft felt ball.
What you'll notice
The cats are appliquéd onto the felt, and the edges are finished with visible stitching, so the design sits slightly raised against the background.
The three pouches shown come in blue, grey and mustard-yellow, each with its own felt pom-pom on the zip: blue, taupe and orange.
The faces have a hand-stitched look, with whiskers and noses in dark thread. Each cat has a slightly different expression.
The felt is soft and slightly fuzzy to the touch, with a gentle give that suits a small everyday pouch.
A slim, rectangular shape that slips easily into a bag, tote or desk drawer.
Felt, appliqué and stitch
The cats are cut from separate pieces of felt and stitched onto the coloured background, so the pink, white and fuchsia read as clear blocks of colour. Felt holds its shape well and has a warm, matte look that suits this kind of simple, graphic appliqué.
Ways to use it
A pouch this size suits small things you like to keep together: earphones, lip balm, coins, hair ties, a few pens or a favourite stone. Many people keep one for a particular purpose, such as a travel kit or a stationery pouch, so that the small things you reach for most always have a home.
A note on the cats
Cats have been companions at the hearth for thousands of years, and across many cultures they stand for curiosity, comfort and quiet independence. Here they are drawn as a close, cheerful trio, pressed side by side, which gives the pouch a friendly, slightly humorous character.
