| Make beautiful tatted organza bags for tatting or projects or gifts etc. |
 |
| I did order some from eBay just make sure 4X8 inches no smaller for tatting bags to fit projects |
 |
| some I messed up on, and added a pretty flower |
 |
| I turned inside out and add " frey check" the bag seams so they last a while, not to tatting it makes to harder to stitch down. |
 |
| I start and sew the motif on when bag is inside out. |
 |
| Do not place motif on bag too high up or in middle of bag |
 |
| place in center and low on bag this looks much better when bag is closed. |
 |
| Find a card stock paper to place in bag, so you do not go both sides of the bag. |
 |
| You can use 2 or three pins to hold motif down as you turn the bag inside out. Hopefully these tips can help you if you haven't tried this already. |
Great idea! Thanks for the tips too!

Thank you for the nice idea,..and for the 3 bags that you sent me. I use one of them and carry it around everywhere. It holds a small tape measure, tiny scissors, your strawberry pouch ,which holds 2 thimbles, a needle , ball,thread and 2 shuttles. So, I haven't made my chatelaine yet, but since your bags have such cheerful colors, I am not sorry.
ReplyDeleteWell you are welcome, I know what you mean, Its hard to find time to do all those things you want to do. As I was typing it I remembered the words to the song "Time in a bottle" by Jim Croche it's a little sad though. Do you know that song?
ReplyDeleteThese bags are so cute! I have a couple of them, and they make nice tiny pouches for chapstick, gifts, or change!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA I love your "NO" and "YES" placards! Also this is an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteYour post is very timely (yes, I know the song☺ ) as I just picked up a few little bags the other day to try something like this. Thanks for all the tips, they will be a great help!

Your bags are very pretty. I did a few of these a while back and filled them with various nice-scented spices and dried flowers to put in closets and drawers.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of using card stock to prevent the needle going through both layers of the bag. I wish I had thought of that!
Yes, I Thought of that when repairing blue jeans I rolled up magazines to put inside of pant leg, and that's when the Idea was born.
