Back when I first started blogging, many tatters were decorating jeans bags. I even joined in the fun, but I don't know where my jeans bag is now... probably some place really safe. ;-)
Anyway, this past summer I started thinking that it would be fun to decorate an Origami pouch with tatting. So I bought some fabric that I thought would be perfect for embellishing and started making bags. I worked on finishing them this week... better late than never! This one is my favorite. Did you notice that it's blue?
Now I need to figure out how I want to decorate it!
I'm making pretty good progress on my Pansy Spinning Wheel. I really like the way the colors flow, and I can hardly wait to finish it!
I am not one for variegated thread but these colours really appeal to me! They suit the pattern.

I think you did well to make the bag it looks like the one that I put on Gail's site quite a few years ago....I did machine embroidery on the two flaps on mine...I know it should have been tatting LOL

AH HA YES I totally remember!!! I was one who started on one but never ever finished...and now it's just so in the past it will never get done...so I've added the bits I had made back then to my crazy quilt stash and I still have a half tatted motif in my tatting bag. I have no idea why it just got abandoned mid-project but it did. I will probably end up throwing away that bit too it got all tangled up over the years. LOL
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could use the pansy wheel to decorate the bag??
ReplyDeleteIt's a good idea to decorate one of your origami bags. Have been wanting to make one myself, just need to find time and some fabric. I think your favourite motifs or small doily can go on it!
ReplyDeleteThe pansy colourway is sure coming out really nice. Cheerful colours.
I love variegated thread and those colours are beautiful and it's looking good so far.
ReplyDeleteLovely bag I am sure you will find some great designs for it.

I think the blue in the pansy spinning wheel will look fantastic on your blue origami bag!
ReplyDeleteThat spinning wheel mat look like it is going to be gorgeous!! :)
