Notes

This bag turned out wonderful!
I had a few hiccups with the instructions, but after some help, I figured it out.
I made the hanging tassels twirly and added beads to the tips of them, as well as around the edge of the bag. I lined the bag with a silk-ish fabric and made it a draw string bag!
I think my great grandmother is going go love it!!

The bag handles were not sitting right with me. I think they were too much and didn’t work with the bag. So I took them out and made new handles out of the same thread as the bag. I chained a long strand, then turned and Sc down the chain. I think it looks soooo much better!!
