Money Bags

June 4, 2018 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 1 Comment

Money Bags - drawstring gift bags by A Spoonful of Sugar www.aspoonfulofsugardesigns.com

Hello friends! It is hard to believe that it has been over 3 months since my last post. In the 10 years that I have been blogging, that is the longest break I have had. Not only did I stop blogging, but I also stepped away from social media and became “unplugged” for a while. The break has done me the world of good. I am now feeling refreshed and ready to be creative again. I have kept busy –  working more hours in my day job, baking, planning holidays, and caught up on my reading. I have also started a couple of larger projects – a quilt and a crocheted blanket – for family members.

It is a long weekend here in Western Australia this weekend to celebrate WA Day. For the first time in quite a while I felt like sewing, so I made a duo of little drawstring bags. With there rounded bottom, they remind me of Money Bags. They are perfectly sized to hold small items of jewellery or little gifts. I have a couple of birthdays coming up so will pop some goodies into the money bags – that way the packaging will be just as pretty as the gift itself!

The Money Bags are made using Memoire a Paris by Lecien Fabrics. It is a beautiful soft cotton lawn which gathers up beautifully when the drawstrings are pulled. I partnered the floral lawn with grey gingham and lace. Who can resist floral and gingham? Such a classic combination.

Memoire a Paris is such a pretty collection of small scale florals. This is from a collection a year or two ago – new designs are being added to the collection.

    I love the ‘”money bags” you feature, it says there is a tutorial, but I can’t find it.

    Am I missing something. I would like to make them for the ladies attending my
    quilt retreat.

Tea always tastes better when brewed and served in Tea always tastes better when brewed and served in fine bone china don't you think? I made a trivet to match my favourite teaset - Polka  Rose by @royalalbertengland . It was fun to find all the pretty mint green florals in my fabric stash. 💚💚💚

I had fun sewing this Valentine's inspired Heart C I had fun sewing this Valentine's inspired Heart Clasp Purse using a kit from @zakkaworkshop . I had the perfect heart fabric in my stash.  The kit comes with full sized templates, hardware ( clasp and paper string), and lots of step by step instructions and photos to guide you through the process. It has been a while since I have made a clasp purse but it was fairly straightforward. Check out  other Heart Clasp Purses by following #heartclasppurse and #zakkaworkshop  Perfect Valentine's project.
