Making drawstring bags is strangely addictive, they are so useful!
This one is made from gorgously soft pure linen in a natural white colour, and the pure wool threads are delightlful to stitch with this. The bag measures approximately 22 x 24 cm when finished and is lined with the same fabric throughout, making it feel very luxurious.
Containing all the materials you will need to make this bag, apart from scissors to cut the thread and fabric. You will receive a 50cm x 50cm pure linen panel in one square, so if preferred you could make a cushion or a large bag with the panel.
Featuring this cute little hedgehog that has stopped to smell the flowers, this design will appeal to hedgehog lovers of all ages, and this would make a thoughful gift, either in kit form or made up.
The kit is suitable for beginners and advanced stitchers alike, as the stitches are easy to master, and there are videos at the website for the stitches.
Containing pure wool threads in Pure British Wool, the light weight 4 ply wool is an absolute joy to stitch with as it's squidgy enough to hide imperfections, but it still has a form to it that creates very neat stitches with minimum effort. In terms of thickness, the wool is a fine 4 ply with the thickness of 2 ply.
