Hand made Christmas Challenge......


I was checking out a few other blogs the other day and found some cute little drawstring coin pouches in Jellywares banner, she said a tutorial was coming, but being the impatient crafter, I thought I would make my own version. I thought they would be a nice little addition to my nieces presents or with a nice chunk of soap in them they could become a 'soap on a rope' type thing and hang in the shower. You could even do a bobbly stitch on the base and turn it into a soft scrubby soapy type thing. I made this in cotton and just used a bit of ribbon that I found in a drawer, but I might crochet a little cord if it is going to get wet. What do you think?






Have a look at what other people are up to in the challenge at Knicky knacks.

  8. Hello I found your lovely site on icrochet - this pretty little bag caught my eye!

    I might have to attempt one myself. What a great idea for presents, like you say with a bar of soap or something stashed inside
