These have pockets that you can put whatever in. I have tried to show the pockets in the red one but they don't show up well. You can make more folds than I have and this will make more but smaller pocket. I have my extra machine feet in the one I made for myself. Have also changed the edge with bias binding which is not on the original pattern. They are easy to make. My Girlfriend is making them for her Grand Daughters and adding a chain to make a shoulder bag.

Really great these bags.

How sweet!

I love them both!!!
I would like to know how to do that origami bag. I do not find one pattern like this in the web yet...
And I love your fabrics too.

There are some beautiful Fabrics around. Just look on the Web. Lyn

These are really beautiful little pocket purses! Just simply elegant. Seems like they would be nice for taking to the prom. Nice job!

Thank You!

This does look like a variation on the original drawstring 'Origami Bag'. One link is http://www.quiltcetera.com/Tutori... If anyone does have a link to the bag shown by Lyn, please us know - I'm sure several people will be interested. Thank you.

These bags are nifty, ideal for handling sewing tools, threads and much taken to sewing classes. If there was a pattern available different colors for different catagories would make identification of where to look for what tool a snap.

Very nice work Lyn, I can see how these would make a nice small shoulder bag - even for a prom - with the right fabric.

Gone past the Prom days Shirlene. Think they would be beautiful in some type of Satin or Velvet fabric. Lyn

I don't understand how these are made. Is there a pattern and do they have a name?

Fabric I have bought from USA and I have bulk buttons, but it is so hard to find two the same. The larger button of the two on the purple only has a groove, so I had to find a smaller one to fit inside it. Lyn

very nice i love the purple one best!!!carolyn
