Yellow Bird Bag

 Orange Friday!  And using what I have.

I just put the finishing touches on this dainty little bag that's going out to Didine who's been waiting a very long time (and very patiently I might add) to do a swap. Used this same bird motif again, but did the embroidery in different colors to blend with the warm golden yellows here. I'm really having fun making these little tissue pouches, which are making the rounds again on lots of craft blogs. The super talented and generous Cassie aka Bella Dia had this tutorial for one. And I thought I saw another one on craftster too. They're quick and fun, and make use of scraps left-over from bigger projects. I've made about a dozen so far. This one's going along with the bag, that will have a few more surprises tucked inside. Now, off it goes to the shipping post.

This looks so lovely - I think I will have a go at a tissue holder myself! X

It all looks so nice! I especially like how you did a blanket stitch around the pincushion - I'll have to remember that.

Really pretty! Your embroidery is the perfect touch. I've got the notion to do a few tissue holders too. They are popping up again all over the place!

Pretty bag, and I love the button, too! I saw a tissue holder in a shop a few months ago and went home and designed my own pattern. It's a bit different than yours and the tutorial you linked to. It has a tab and button closure so there are a few more pattern pieces. And I sometimes interface the fabric if it isn't heavy enough on it's own. Mostly they're a way to use up scraps and showcase a pretty button that I only have one of.

Hi! I found your site via Clarice @ Storybookwoods and I just love it! I am so excited because these adorable tissue holders are easy enough for me to make! lol. I am going to make bunches of them for all of my friends (as gifts) today. I am bursting at the seams to get started on them. Thanks so much!
