Glady & Cloudy Craft Blog

I didn’t get my act together to do the red challenge last week, so, I’ve decided to combine my red and green challenge this week.

I wanted to try out a very simple bag pattern I saw in a Japanese craft book, so here is the result.

I copied the pattern from the craft book during the week last week, but then I managed to left the book at work before the weekend started, so I could not follow the instructions step-by-step while I was putting it together last night (I cannot read Japanese but the diagrams are relatively easy to follow). So with a bit of try and error and unpicking, I managed to put it together and I’m quite happy with the result, and it doesn’t take long to make… well, aside from the unpicking bit… I particularly like the knot closure, very cute.

The pattern is for a bag probably for a lunch box, but I think I am going to try to make a bigger version of it, as I think this can be quite handing as a foldup shopping bag.
