Zakka Dilly Bag

January 29, 2016 By A Spoonful of Sugar -

Zakka Dilly Bag from A Spoonful of Sugar: Sew 20 Simple Projects to Sweeten your Surroundings Zakka Style by Lisa Cox

The Zakka Dilly Bag is one of my favourite projects from my book.  It is a sweet drawstring bag with a crocheted base that is perfectly sized for storing your latest crochet or craft project. As soon as I saw this retro inspired Little Lamb print, I couldn’t wait to sew with it. It is already storing my latest crochet project.

I added a polka dot, felt, and leather label; linen ribbon; and pink wooden beads.

It has a simple crocheted base (although it can be easily made with a a fabric base if crochet is not your thing!)
