Our next stitch club will see Vanessa take us through the process of making an Omiyage Bag (a small triangular bag). Requirements list as follows:
- 2 pieces of fabric 25cm square: one for the right side and one for the lining. Please note, the lining shows on the finished bag where the triangle points are folded back. Don't make the fabric too thick as pins have to go through 4 layers of fabric. Cotton or silk would be ideal; plain or all over pattern as folding makes stripes or "right way up" pattern unsuitable.
- Fabric scissors, sewing needles and pins
- Tape measure or ruler
- Sewing thread to join seams on the right side of the bag
- Small beads or buttons to decorate the triangular points or embroidery threads if you want to stich a small motif on each point.
- Extra beads in you want to decorate bag seams (optional)
- Cord or ribbon to make drawstring closure. Not needed if you prefer to 9mit closure and use the bag as a fabric pot.
