Black Satin Gift Bag


Another craft project from the archives. I made this gift bag from scraps of black satin left over when I had altered a skirt. It's lined with the old lining of another old skirt and I decorated it with beads from the second skirt. I can't remember where the ribbon came from! The design could be altered, by using a strong piece of black cord instead of the ribbon, to make a neck purse.

HI Catherine
Thanks for your comments - yes I have used this bag! I'm hoping to be able to make something similar again.
