My favorite new needlepoint to create (and gift) is a customized needlepoint zipper pouch that looks like an old school air envelope. There is something fun, retro, beautiful about it that instantly called my attention. So since I discovered Serpent Sea, I have made four of these pouches!

So many different options!

How I needlepointed it (very big mesh holes, so super easy to do, but not that exciting as boring pattern)

Needlepoint with my favorite embroidered pants (from Bode — but I would love to figure out how to do!)

The finished backside.
Let me know if you want me to make one!!! Serpent Sea sells both the finished product (expensive, but a lot of work) or the customized canvas, which you do yourself. I (obviously) ordered the canvas and needlepointed it myself and had it finished and am SO happy with the result! If you needlepoint — do this project! If you don’t needlepoint, let’s talk 🙂
