Tachibana Bag Kitset

This kitset is based around the BeBe Bold Kinchaku Bag.

I added four different Tachibana Sashiko designs to the sides instead of the Modern Boro


So in the kitset you get two patterns for the price of one - BeBe Bold's for the bag 

construction and Patchwork Passion's for the Sashiko Designs


Tachibana translates as wild orange, so in this case orange blossom. 

The design was originally a Japanese Kamon (family crest).


This kit contains - the two patterns, outside bag fabric, lining fabric, stabilizer, 
cord, sashiko thread, koki rings and transfer paper.

$80.00 plus postage

Hitomezashi Little Gift Bags

I have had fun making these cute Little Gift Bags.

 Blue Star  

There are just so many options for colour combinations and Hitomezashi pre-printed designs.

 
Gold Crosses

The Hitomezashi design comes pre-printed on indigo or white cotton and I have 

combined that with a linen or linen/cotton mix fabric.  

I am loving the textured weave on these fabrics.

 Red Sakura

The lining fabric is a more lightweight cotton.

They make nice Little Gifts when filled with nice soap, some special chocolates 

or any other treasure you can think of.


I now have kitsets made for them all. 
The kit contains: the pre-printed design, the outer fabric and lining, stabilizer, 
Sashiko thread, Sashiko needle, Perle Cotton for ties and full instructions.

 Gold Chain

The finished size is  5.5" by 6.5"


Cost: $25.00 plus postage

These are finer 40m hanks $5.60 each


These are Olympus thicker 20m $5.60



These threads on card are finer 40m $5.60

These on a reel are thicker 30m $9.10



You can order by quoting hank, reel or card and eg: third from left, 
the colour is also helpful.
