Shell Collecting Bags. Just started embroidering, and I made these simple drawstring bags for shells for my young family members that visit us at our beach house we just retired to! You guys on here are amazing. So very talented. I hope that I can one day get to your level. Thought I did okay on a beginners first attempt!

Jun 18, 2013 -- What a clever idea! And the stitch outs are beautiful.

great job!

That is a brilliant idea for shell collecting but you had better make many more as these will be gone home in a suitcase in no time! You have done a wonderful job embroidering them. I love this site and all of the friends I've made and help I've gotten. Welcome!

Very nice bags. The kids will love them. Welcome to Cute... Lyn

WELCOME .. you have done a great job with the bags and prepared a great memory, bet the kids will get a kick out of collecting now

What a cool idea. This way they won't go to the bottom of the beach bag, thrown out or broken quite as fast. I need to do something like that. Thanks for the idea.

Well done! Welcome to the Cute family!

Welcome to Cute!! Love these bags!! I make a lot of bags - especially for wrapping Christmas and Birthday gifts. We use very little wrapping paper and the bags are unique and reusable - I am a big fan - well done!! Hugs, Laura*
