Sewing related-Oragami purse pattern

Lisa Caryl 19 years ago

I found this site when cruising through some blogs the other day. It has pdf directions for a cute little origami bag.

This woman made hers from a crazy quilted block-it is stunning!

I made one from fat quarters and my bag turned out to be about 7"x7" once I trimmed the fq's to squares. One additional sewing note: you need to stop sewing from 1/2" to 3/4" before you get to the top of the sides so you can accomodate the drawstrings. I also squared off the bottom corners as you would do when making a purse.

This was fast, fun, and the purse/pouch would make great quick gifts, perhaps with a little Easter gift tucked inside. They are fast enough to get several done before Sunday.

Those are wonderful! The CQ one is great! I wish I had time to try some before Easter...but we have company staying with us and have been on the run for several days!

Those are so nice, and they look like fun to make! I think I could make a bunch of those for Christmas gifts for the gals at work.
