This is made from a sample piece of printed cotton furnishing fabric. I 'quilted' it onto a washing up cloth with programmed machine stitches to add texture and break up the pattern. The tie is just a torn strip of fabric with rows of zizag stitch to stop it fraying.
This is what the inside looks like:

I put in a pocket for a notepad and pen and another for scissors. (I've buried the ones that fit in here somewhere in my work room). Then I added a couple of pieces of flannel, cut out with pinking shears, to hold a few needles.
