Japanese Knot Bag

Make It

This project was made from an independent Craftsy designer's pattern:
ww Japanese Knot Bags PLUS Blossom »

Instructions

Instead of using the "Snowflake Blossom" I added a ruched flower at the seam of the small loop. Started with a 3" square of scrap fabric and batting. Sewed around it and turned it inside out. Then attached the ruched flower to square and added 2 leaves and a button center. Last, I tacked the square over the seam of the small loop.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Whimsical, Cute, Casual


Materials

2 fat quarters of coordinating cotton fabric, scrap of coordinating third fabric, scrap of batting, Steam-a-Steam, key tether, button

What was your inspiration?

The bag was too cute to pass up! Perfect to put your keys and a small wallet/coin purse.

What are you most proud of?

Adding the ruched flower! See http://www.roserushbrooke.com/how-to-ruche.html on how to make this flower.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Read and follow the directions. Have fun adding decorative touches. It is what makes the bag.

The ruched flower is INCREDIBLE! Great thing the bag is reversible because I'd have to put the snowflake flower on one side and your amazing ruched flower on the other! SO pretty.

I meant to mention that putting the flower on the small handle is so much better than anywhere else, thanks for the pointer!
