Just finished the last of the drawstring bags for Christmas gifts – eighteen here, twenty-one in all. Just in time for tomorrow’s Friday afternoon knitters get together.
For the most part I was able to fabricate these bags using fabric for the outside and lining, for the drawstring channels, buttons, wooden beads, from the supplies I had on hand. I did have to buy 6mm grosgrain ribbon and a few wooden beads to finish the last few but for the most part I used what I had. That doesn’t mean there was no cost associated with the bags but it feels differently (like free) when I don’t have to go out and buy specific supplies for a project.
Now back to quilting the Layer Cake Quilt. Hoping to finish it this weekend.
Did you share a pattern on this? Sorry — I’ve gotten lost in the posts on Christmas gifts!
I didn’t – I made up the bag as I went along. I can write down some instructions if you wish – on the weekend, OK?
I don’t know for sure I’d make it, just because my plans are proceeding apace! So don’t write it up unless you want to keep them for yourself, or provide anyway as a tutorial. Thanks for the offer!
Such a thoughtful , useful, gift!
