Hot off the press...well nearly....it's actually hot off the sewing machine!

I just finished making the above Origami Bag, which I quite like now that it's finished. It would make a great bag to take a small project with you to sewing class or on a road trip. I saw a similar one on the internet, and today decided to try making one. I put batting in the bag, thinking it would give it some 'shape', but it's got a wee bit too much body I think. Maybe next time I'll try with thin pellon instead of thin batting.

At each end, there is a pocket, which you can see in the photo above. I know, I know, the buttons aren't quite matching yellows, but I'm trying to use up what I have, instead of buying more all the time!

I'd love to hear what you think of my Origami Bag, so please leave me a comment. Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs
Naomi

    Origami is a versatile technique.
