Twisted Square Bag

Beryl has made this bag using the Twisted Square Technique.

I taught this technique at the beginning of the month.

Beryl used batik fabric to make the squares.
There are 21 squares in the main bag and 2 either side.

Lace Folded Purse Makes

I always try and show different inspiration each week

and this week I was inspired by some lace Irene had

given me and some beautiful upholstery fabric I had been

treasuring.

I had seen on You Tube a video put on by a lovely

Australian lady and I made mine but with

alterations and some tweaks in the method.

As you can see the Textile Class had a great time

and it opened everyones mind boxes with

the origami!!!

Lace Folded Purse

Monday 31st October!!!!!! :-\

I am always looking out for folded bag patterns

and I came across a beaded and decorated one on You tube.

So I decided to make this and decorate mine with lace

and machine embroidery.

I think I will make several of these as gifts.

Monday at Knit Wits

I am now doing an extra Monday at

Knit Wits at the beginning of the month.

It was a lovely morning with a quilt being put

together, folded bags and a fancy Union Jack Cushion.

In the afternoon I finished my Japanese Bag from

the Saturday Workshop and had a good

browse of the lovely new fabrics that Fiona

has ordered in.
