Japanese Knot Bags

with Penny Follows

One-day workshop, 10am-3pm

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

These delightful bags can be made in any size either by hand or with a sewing machine. They are small open tote bags but, with a twist. They have asymmetrical handles, and one of the handles slips through the other to form a knot and close the bag so that the contents of the bag are secure. They are useful for knitting, crochet, sewing projects and to carry lunch to work!
