Ugly fringes... If this happens, just trim them off as best you can.

  

front pockets are also lined with the red polka dot fabric. Bags are lined with matching dress fabric

A agulha não pica preparou oficinas para ensinar a bordar. Dentro de um taleigo vem um motivo carimbado colocado num bastidor, uma agulha, linhas, instruções detalhadas e uma moldura.

 

An embroidery kit treasured in a taleigo (patchwork drawstring bag): pre-stamped motive, needle, cotton thread, detailled instructions, wooden frame.

People are so puzzled by these in person, it's kind of amusing. Even when I have a sticker that says "Soap Sack" on it and a bar of soap right there.

 

I've never been quite sure what Jane Q. Public thinks the thing is!

 

And the drawstring closure with the tied bow utterly defeats folk as well - the little bag gets picked up and the top YANKED on ... uh ... you need to untie the closure first ma'am ...

  

Maybe someday I'll figure out a way to NOT have people so massively confused.

   

This is made with 2 strands of cotton crochet thread. I like the contrast of one strand of variegated rainbowness and one strand of solid white. My "to do list" includes trying it with black instead of white.

 

The first soap sacks I made were from worsted weight cotton yarn which was a dismal failure - soap got wasted due to the thickness, and the bag a good friend guinea-pigged for me stretched all to heck and back. It was awful!

 

These work goodly.

I stitched also on the bag.

This bag is made of Japanese vintage kimono wool fabric.

I made this out of an Eeyore T-shirt. It says "When it rains it pours" "rain, rain, rain never goes away"

Sometimes I feel like this, but don't we all?

I hand embroidered on tha bag with Sashiko embroidery thread.

Loooove this puppy love fabric...so fun and cute!!

I'm such a lucky girl! I was searching for a map of the world for the back of a childrens quilt and found this panel on ebay. It is from 1981 and comes from Danish designer Jette Viby who was well known in those days. The panel consists of a world map plus the animals and people who live all over the world. I just had to cut them all up and sew them together again. I always like to add some kind of playful touch to the back, something to keep children occupied. BUT the most wonderful thing about this is that I had already made this once before in 1981 for my children to play with. At that time it was hanging on the wall and the figures had velcro on the back to stick them onto the map. This time I added it to the quilt for my latest grandson. So can you imagine how happy I was?

Very girly, isn't it? Maybe it will become a drawstring bag for baby girl living in London.

Six pockets inside and when you open the pouch it sits like a little cloth dish!

 

Hmmmm....I think I need to put a surprise or two inside!;)

Once I found the green vintage children's bed sheet I knew I would turn it into a quilt and when my grandson was born I also knew it was his! It reminded my of the books I used to read to my children when they were small. A quilt all about roads and cars for a car loving boy!

Baby Gift for a special family friend's first baby.
