Project Bags




Aunt Janet sent Mother a project bag last year and Sally declared it the perfect bag for crochet projects. Aunt Janet's bag is the middle one in the above picture. I decided to make a few for presents. The recipients were Ann, Sally, Leslie, Miff and Cousin Kathy. The first picture is Cousin Kathy's bag in use. Two bags were left for the donation/gift box. In the meantime, Aunt Janet sent me some of the upholstery samples she used to make hers. I think I see more bags in my future. I call them Aunt Janet knock-offs or copies of JMTW Originals. I only bought the plastic canvas sheets for the bag stiffening. The rest of the raw materials were already in-house. Two of the bags were quilted, Miff's and Kathy's .
