6 & 6 in 2018 - July Report

This is the month to report on a new project. I started and finished a bag using the sleeve of a silk kimono and old handkerchief.  I finished the ends of the drawstrings with little buttons I made from the same kimono piece.  




I have already started unpicking the sleeve of another kimono to make a second bag. Stay tuned...



You can see my 6&6 in 2018 progress here and  check out who is joining in this month on Meredith's blog here.

    This is stunning Pamela. The butterfly looks so beautiful against the dark blue silk.
