Bags of fun

My smaller knitting projects have up to now been kept in very basic white cotton bags, but I wanted something a little larger and smarter and with a bit more body, so I've made a lined drawstring bag following these comprehensive instructions.

I used navy linen for the exterior, Liberty Tana Lawn 'Ianthe' for the accent piece, and 'Betsy' for the lining, with some cord from the ribbons and trimmings box for the ties.

The finished bag is 10.5" tall by 10" wide with the base 3.25" deep, and as it was fun to make and has turned out exactly as I'd hoped, I'm going to make some more.

Love the fabric and color combination. So much prettier than a white cotton bag.
