7 quick sewing.

1.23.2012

I haven't really been too inspired to sew recently, but yesterday I was in the mood for a quick and easy instant gratification type of project.  Something I could finish in one short little session to remind me how good it feels to finish a project!  This lined drawstring bag using Jeni's tutorial was just what I needed.
I used Lizzy House's Pearl Bracelet print in Green from the 1001 Peeps collection for the exterior.  I'm currently obsessed with this color!  The black and white dot prints are just random fat quarters I had laying around, not sure who they're by.  The ribbon is a Martha Stewart faux bois ribbon I bought at Michael's a really long time ago.
 I'm traveling again this week and needed a bag to hold my current knitting project (another honey cowl).  This bag will work perfectly!
This bag was so fun and fast to make I have a few more already planned.  I think they'll make really cute gifts for Valentine's day.

  4. that is the perfect little sack, great color combo. I honestly feel so embarassed about admitting this, but I bought yarn and needles for making a honey cowl, but I'm so scared to start, I don't even know if I picked out an acceptable yarn!
