followed again Svetlana's (s.o.t.a.k handmade) tutorial. This time I made the drawstring bag bigger, sewed a label onto felt (instead of leather), added a piece of fabric to hang the bag and sewed strings.

Here we have the new photos of my bags done by a great photographer friend. Over time he will be upgrading my photos for me! Kabalah Tree of Life Hand embroidered with metallic threads. This bag is big enough for a large sized Tarot Deck (e.g. Thoth) or Oracle Cards. People have also used these bags for jewellery, crystals, runes and more!
After a fruitless attempt at finding suitable paperboard suitcases for these sets, had to resort to making a little lined drawstring bag to house the contents:
Applique flannel/washcloth to match the bag
Pink Flower Hairbrush
Pink Flower Toothbrush
Bath Fizzer
Bath Stars
Always makes me smile at how little girls are drawn to the bright pink :)
I used Jeni's of In Color Order drawstring bag tutorial (incolororder.blogspot.com/2011/10/lined-drawstring-bag-tu...) and then an add on (docs.google.com/document/d/1X-liXCX7pB7vY1FYyYrR84kYkFaEL...) to add the pockets by Terri at Sew Fantastic.

* Fabric for your bag >>
Figure out what size bag you would like. Then to those measurements add 1/2″ on the left and right side and 2″ to the top for seam allowance and your drawstring casing. The bottom should be the fold of the bag. Notch the sides of the bag 2″ down from the top. Your pattern should look like this.
The bag I made will measure 9″ x 10″ after it is sewn. That means my pattern will be 10″ x 12″ or (9″ + 1/2″ + 1/2″) x (10″ + 2″).
Don’t forget to cut on a fold!
* Drawstring. I used cotton twill tape measuring 1/2″ wide. A pretty ribbon will just as well.
* Large eyed needle to thread the drawstring (a bobby pin or small safety pin will work too)
* Thread
* Scissors or thread clippers
* Sewing machine or thread and needle if you want to hand sew
followed again Svetlana's (s.o.t.a.k handmade) tutorial. This time I adjusted the size of the drawstring bag again, added strings and fabric pieces to create a backpack bag (inspired by this tutorial and a friend's idea). I added felt and a label again.

I make no apologies for including so many images of this puzzle: it's from a new British manufacturer so I think it deserves a little more attention.
I saw a mention of Sylva Puzzles in a Facebook group so headed to their website. Only one image appealed: this one; the rest are modern subjects.
So I took the plunge and ordered, assuming that being British, it would arrive fairly quickly.
Unfortunately, what they don't make clear is that they don't (so far) keep stocks in UK; their puzzles are made in China, so delivery took longer than I'd anticipated.
Communication was haphazard - I got an email asking my opinion of the puzzle a few days before it arrived, and then another telling me delivery was imminent after it had supposedly travelled from China to the USA!
Needless to say I was amazed when it turned up the following day!
So what's my opinion of the puzzle itself?
Let's start with the cardboard box it was sent in. Some outer damage (possibly down to Evri's 'careful' (!) handling, but nothing too bad.
Now to the puzzle box itself. A badly dented lid (see photo) and a small dent to the corner of the box base - probably due to Evri's handling. I can put up with this, it's too much trouble to ask for it to be rectified and doesn't affect the puzzle.
The box is actually quite sturdy, but twice the size it needs to be. A couple of cards were inside with some information about the artist and the company, and the pieces themselves, housed in a velvety drawstring bag, all gave the impression of a quality item. My only gripe here is the poor print quality on those cards, the spelling could be better, too.
Now for the puzzle itself: and here's where I want to heap praise where it's due! Wonderfully thick pieces, heaps of clever and imaginative whimsies, and a fiendishly irregular border, made for a couple of days' fun.
So all in all, I have to say I'm pleased with my purchase, but with reservations; perhaps once they've sorted out their teething problems and maybe started to hold stocks in UK I may be tempted to buy from them again.
Vielen Dank an meine Freundin M. für den super Tipp, die Tasche nach der Komebukuro Art zu nähen. Es ist einfach und es gefällt mir sehr gut.
Enlarged & modified the Day Bag pattern by Nicole Mallalieu with drawstring closure & an elastic pocket for ipad...my favorite knitting tool! This was an experiment that still needs a little work...I don't like zipper closures for knitting bags since I always zip my yarn into the zipper at some point but I think this drawstring top is a little too big for this bag & wish the bag was a little bigger. WIP...
The ribbons came with an Easter present many years ago. I loved the color so much that I kept them. I think that they are prefect for this little lined drawstring bag. Stash sewing at its best! : )

Another view of the knitted treasure bag. This is my adaptation of this free pattern on Ravelry:

The yarn is hand dyed 100% wool. It is very soft. Knit it on small needles to make the knitted fabric dense.
My latest drawstring bag--made with a pretty vintage aqua linen, and forget-me-not floral. I've added a couple yoyos with little ivory color button centers--just cuz' I love them!
I should probably focus on spring cleaning my garden, but it snowed last night. So, without bad conscience I pulled out some WIPs to work on.
I always use Jeni Baker's tutorial for drawstring bags. It is such a perfect tutorial and really easy to follow. Drawstring bags really are fun! Find her tutorial here www.incolororder.com/2011/10/lined-drawstring-bag-tutoria...
