September Program: Petal Bags
Vickie led the group in a quick and easy project, Petal Bags, to carry and store 'stuff' in. We all need more 'stuff' storage, don't we?
The bags were quick, easy and fun to make. Most of the guild members left with at least one finished bag at the end of the evening.
The blue/batik bag was made with 18" squares of fabric, the tiny ones were made with 10" squares, and the red/green one was made with 15"(ish) squares.
Thank you, Vickie - what a fun project!
