I have long admired and wanted to do this little project. It's a
beaded bag which I spotted on
Le blog de Frivole. This isn't originally Frivole's pattern but with permission, she shared her version
here. I wanted to make it but I just couldn't think of what to do with the little bag except to put in a shuttle. Yes but no. But finally I have the perfect use! I had to modify the pattern a bit to make my bag be the perfect size. And then I couldn't decide on beads and color so I went with black (huge groan) and these wonderful beads I bought years ago when I first tried beads at all.
What could it possibly be used for? I shall let you guess.
P.S. Tatting with two old Tatsy shuttles is not my idea of fun but they do hold a lot of beads. I shall have to get my paws on two Starlits, even though I really love bobbin shuttles. If only there were Starlit sized with bobbins, I would be so happy.
I’ve made the beaded bag, worth the fiddle! I look forward to the reveal of what it’s for.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are off to a wonderful start!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lipstick holder at the moment.
I received a gift in this (rough) shape and it holds a tube of lip balm. Close?
ReplyDeleteWell, it's for something useful like lip balm. : )
DeleteI love making these bags and have made a few made my strawberries pattern that fits coins and some items for tatting😍
ReplyDeleteI love those little beaded bags! They are a bit fiddly but look so pretty. I was going to say a pen case but now... for your lipstick?
