Projects — Tassels

  Are you ready for the weekend?  Then you need this charming bag.  I made the pouch by sewing thrift store blouses into a patchwork piece of fabric.  Then I used Fairfield Purely Cotton™ 100% natural needlepunched cotton batting sandwiched inside the patchwork fabric and cotton fabric in a marsala color.  I sewed a pouch with a flap, and added a necktie for a shoulder strap.   Next, I made a marsala colored tassel and pinned to the flap of the bag. Here's how: Gather your materials.  You'll need the Large PattieWack Tassel Maker.    Wind yarn on tassel maker...
