A LITTLE JAPANESE RICE BAG FOR MY MEDITATION SCROLL...

 

I've been wanting to make a little carrying bag
for my Meditation Scroll...
I decided on a 
Japanese Rice Bag..
they are so darling...

A N D....
I've just finished it...
💓
I used old silk sari ribbons
for the ties...
and it is
mostly hand stitched..
{the lining I sewed together on Helga;}

It is just big enough to hold my scroll
in progress and my little spool, thread,
needle, and small scissors...

Here you can see the lining fabric...

Here is the rosy pink side...

I am really happy 
:)))))
with how it
turned out. 
 I am not really
a bag maker...so this was
quite the journey to understand
how it was put together..

I watched and studied 
  4  different Youtube videos 
in order to learn how to
make this ;)))
*******************************
Here I am outside 
on our deck
this morning working on
my scroll...

I am just doing a simple running
stitch in parallel lines with
deep red thread...

S  L  O  W  L  Y .....

Very S L O W....

slow stitching 
while sipping
my morning coffee 
and listening to
the birds.....


I like that this is a "lap project";
and now so easy to carry along
with me in my little
Japanese Rice Bag...:)))
