...............made a small gift bag
I used a square of calico (muslin). I covered it with small scraps of sheer fabrics and snippets of threads then ironed a sheet of bondaweb on the top and free machined all over it. Then I bonded a piece of silk to the back and cut it with a zigzag rotary cutter. I put a metal eyelet in each corner, then pinched in the sides and stitched halfway along the length. I added a matching machine wrapped cord with some wooden beads to make a drawstring, knotted at the end to stop the beads coming off. The medium weight calico and the bondaweb made this little bag stiff enough to hold its shape.

This is stunning Kay Susan...just perfect.
This is lovely. I've been fascinated by your stabilizer and stitching experiments in the last few posts. The little containers are delightful.
This is a stunningly wonderful technique you have developed.
