Last night while The Scout, Miss B and Mr J, were all out at scouts, I took myself out to my sewing room, determined to do a little sewing. Using the two 6" blocks, I made back here, I decided to make a drawstring bag, for a friend to use as a project bag for her crochet. I used this tutorial from Svetlana of Sotak Handmade. Her pattern uses fat quarters which would certainly make a quick and easy bag. Mine took a little longer, because I had to piece extra fabrics to the blocks, to get the desired size. I am really pleased with how it has turned out, This is a great pattern and I would definitely make it again. The bag is not a big bag at approximately 8" x 10", but I think it will comfortably hold a crochet hook or two and some wool. All going well, this will get posted to it's new home later this week.
What are you making at present?
So so sweet - love the fabrics and the intricate blocks.

ReplyDeleteIt's perfectly lovely - just dainty and lovely and I am sure the recipient will be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteHa! It's so funny to me - I skip around the internet favoriting things on Flickr and liking things on Instagram without fully taking the time to think about who made them. I opened your blog today and instantly remembered favoriting these pouches on Flickr. They're fantastic, Julie!
