Jeni's Lined Drawstring Bag...

good afternoon!

i'm joining in with 'ourcreativespaces' and kootoyoo...

today has been a productive day

and i'm pleased with myself

'cos i've tried something new...

and it worked!

i saw a tutorial on jeni's blog...'in color order'

for a lined drawstring bag.

the one she made is so sweet

i had to try to make one myself.

jeni has inspired me this week

with her amazing fabrics and very professional sewing...

you should really check out her blog.

so here it is...

{we had to go where the light was..

'cos it's stormy and was getting very dark inside the house}

this little bag only takes the equivalent of 3 fat quarters of fabric,

stands up beautifully due to it's 'shopping bag' corners

and is very cute!

i like the way it's neatly lined too

and was very easy to sew!

even hanging around it looks pretty...

it measures about 10" wide and 12 " long,

a good size

and i reckon it would be great for all kinds of things.

wouldn't it be great

with a piece of handmade clothing in it for a christmas present...

or a softie for a baby?

then mum could put clean nappies in it,

it'd hold about three or four,

just right for going out shopping or visiting.

i also made another 'blossom' cushion,

like yesterday's but a little bigger...

they look great with the japanese lady ones

on my chinese chest.

i'm off now to check out some fab creative spaces now...
maybe i'll see yours there!

'til tomorrow...
