When I started with machine embroidery, I followed the sage advice to do a test 'stitch out' of a design I never used before on scrap fabric, before I tried it on expensive clothes or irreplaceable fabric. But I had no idea I'd soon have piles of successful tests and not a lot to do with them. Especially since I'm not 'into' quilting. I was really sad when the radio design I bought tested beautifully on a scrap of fabric too small to do much with.
That little problem was solved soon enough, when I started looking around for a container for my MP3, headphones, and USB cable. I could use the radio ! But it wasn't until Beloved Hubby used my sewing scissors to make a pair of cutoffs from some work jeans that I knew I had my last ingredient.
Talk about recycling - a jeans leg, a test stitch-out, a length of grab-bag ribbon, and ancient thread all came together to make me something new ! Free, too ! So I took pictures as I went, intending to write a tutorial on recycled reverse applique !
OMG I LOVE this bag! I have always wanted to sew a lined drawstring but the patterns I always found online were a little confusing. I found a great pattern the other day that was wicked easy to follow! Jeni at InColorOrder wrote it and It is amazing! I will probably make 50 more!

In plenty of time for Valentine's Day! This can be used as an Aphrodite Tarot Bag, Venus Tarot Bag, for large Oracle cards, crystals, other spiritual and ritual items, or just give them as a gift and let the person decide! I'm doing this by special request with the roses embroidered in pink or one red and one pink... This drawstring bag is Hand Embroidered in metallic threads. It is big enough for a large sized Tarot Deck or Oracle Cards. People have also used these bags for jewellery, crystals, runes and more!

When sewing you want to make sure the edge closest to the bottom of the bag is being sewn to the body of the bag. Ideally this will be 1/16″ – 1/8″ away from the edge. It doesn’t really matter as long as you catch the first fold you made- otherwise the raw edge will be exposed and may fray if you wash your bag.
Make sure you are only sewing/working on ONE side of your bag.
Use the edge closest to the top as a reference for making a straight line. Ideally both lines will be straight, however if they aren’t, it won’t be noticeable if you use the upper edge as a guide.
Backstitch the ends a few times for security.
It was time to use some of the print with the cute mice. I remember that I swapped this print a few years ago.
