Drawstring project bag made with elegant monochrome fabrics in glamorous shades of black, cream and silver

Description

The feature fabric on this drawstring project bag is a beautiful monochrome cotton lawn fabric in a print called Lei Nani. It’s from Nani Iro’s exclusive Beau Yin Yang collection for Kokka fabrics. It has a ghostly black base decorated with cream flowers and pops of metallic silver overlaid – such a striking, modern look. I’ve partnered the print with a gorgeous midnight coloured Essex Linen with a sparkling silver metallic thread running through it.

The bag is a perfect size for a smaller project – certainly large enough for a shawl but compact and squishy enough to take with you in a larger bag when you’re on the go. You can see the dimensions of the bag in the last photograph.

I’ve lined the bag in a deep black Essex Linen and added a yarn guide with metal press stud opening in the side seam. The corners have been folded to create pretty triangle shapes that flatten the bag and help it stand on it’s own so you can work out of it. The drawstrings are a lovely soft cotton woven cord in a matching black shade, and I’ve sealed the ends with some PVC tape, for a tidy finish.

All the fabrics have been interfaced with woven cotton for strength and to help resist creasing a little, and I’ve added a layer of fleece for a little more body and padding. Please note that the fabric placement in the photographs is of one sample bag, and your bag could look slightly different, depending on how the fabric is cut.

I’d be happy to make this bag for you in another size or style if you like the fabrics but have something slightly different in mind – just convo me for a custom order.
