On a roll

Just the mere thought that I'll have some free time soon (because of that job thang) has made me feel more creative and free. When I got home from work yesterday, I made this little black Omiyage bag for my daughter's best friend's mom. It was hard finishing this little thing with a teenager breathing down my back before a sleep-over, and this time I couldn't find any beads at all to put on the drawstrings, but the gift was much appreciated! Tonight the kids were bored so instead of watching tv or something, we had a collage party in Miles' room. We each made something, so I should be posting pictures tomorrow...

PS just a reminder: The Omiyage book is by Kumiko Sudo, and has lots of other bags and things to make. This Daffodil pouch just happens to be the easiest project- at least I think so!

Hi, how are you? I posted some pics from that book recently too, but I haven't actually sewn anything yet.

Thank you for posting this book and pictures. I read the original post and promptly bought the book. I made several of these to put gift cards in (I had to enlarge some). I really enjoy the book. I bought the newest book but I think I like Omiyage the best.

These little bags are just lovely. The durability of fabric and the crispness and delicate beauty of origami. What wonderful gifts.

Your post about the teacher not realizing that the little bag was the gift was funny and sad.

Sandra, I think of you everytime I'm exhausted coming home from work! This is a totally off topic comment, but you know me. Happy Holidays. Sonji
