Scrap bag for grab !

Scrap Bag - more than 2 ounces of beautiful cotton fabric (80 g) perfect for doll clothes, fabric covered buttons, patchwork, quilting, fabric beads, etc.

Quilting cottons tend to run 4-6 ounce per square yard, so this is the close to 1/3+ yard of 42" wide fabric. 

The majority are quilting weight cotton in smaller scale florals, with some stripe prints and combined prints or other textured print. 

You will receive the fabric shown in the photos, here are some sneak peek of the fabrics.

These fabric pieces are a range of sizes between 8" x 5" and about 4" x 5".

I used some of the fabrics for my flower coasters projects.  Check it out here !

  

A nice craft book to introduce to you.

 If you are looking for a good craft book to make some very simple yet cute homespun style projects, maybe this is quite a good to refer to. 

This book is written in Chinese language. I believe if you have knowledge in bag making, you won’t find language is a boundary here.  Every bag pattern has its own template and picture illustrated instruction that is quite easy to follow.

This DIY pattern has a good collection of 34 small projects in picture illustrated step-by-step instructions. Each patterns will have it's own template. I find it quite suitable for handmade crafters at all levels.

Here are some of the bags and craft projects it covers.  

* pin cushions

* coin purses

* pencil cases or cosmetic pouches

* hand bag

* draw string bag

* purses and clutch purses

* Key holder or key purses

* wall hanging applique

This book is available in my Etsy shop now.  If you are interested, please visit my Etsy shop by clicking the any photos below. 

in fact, I am introducing more useful craft books in my Etsy shop soon. Please feel free to follow me at my Etsy for more updates ^v^
