Irises!

This is a simple drawstring bag and one of my quicker projects. I had a fat quarter of the iris fabric and the interior poinsettia fabric was left over from a previous project. I found a previously cut and fused teddy bear applique which was in some project I “inherited” but never completed or even started. I feel bad for the person who started her project and never finished it. I finally got over the “I’ll finish it on day” idea and have started to use the fabrics for my own visions. There is a lot of uncut fabric in that bag, but that is another blog entry. Of course I had the purple ribbon on hand. I’ve had it a long time.

The fabrics are 100% cotton and the ribbon is silk. I’m going to play with this project a little to see if I can make the bag reversible with no messy triangles or bumpy seams showing anywhere I’ll also remember which way to cut the fabric in order to get the print going the way I intended.
