tiny happy

I've always loved Japanese bento bags and furoshiki-style gift wrapping, and so I decided to try making some from that hand-printed linen in this post.

I had to stare for a long time at an existing bag and employ some (ok, a lot of) trial-and-error in coming up with the method for these but I'm really happy with them – and I have made a couple for gifts as well. And two are now keeping my knitting projects in order.

The striped linen bento bag in the top photo above is quite large- it would fit a cardigan or jersey-in-progress so I've listed it, along with some other things, in my etsy shop.

I hope you're having a lovely week, dear reader.

I'm celebrating a big blog-milestone this month, so I have a special giveaway planned in a few days' time.
