Yarn Project Bag

Used a Tilda pattern to make myself a new yarn  project bag. Not from her new book (which is just OK), but from Sew Sunny Homestyle (probably my favorite of hers).

Used a vintage sheet for outside and a thrifted but newer sheet for the inside.  What's great about this bag is that is stands up by itself.  The secret is to line the outside pieces with a firm stabilizer (like Timtex).  Super easy!

I just adore that polka dot lining. Makes me smile every time I grab a new hank of yarn from inside.  Plus, this bag looks pretty sitting in my living room, waiting for me to start another project.

Very pretty bag, makes my paper 'bath m bodyworks' bag look bad for my knitting.... I may have to make a bag!
