Who doesn't love a wedding? These little bags are lined with cotton, with the outside consisting of satin or silk, with drawstrings, adorned with froo-froos such as pearls and fancy laces. Easy to do, actually. I just cut the size fabric for the outside and the lining( eyeballed, not measured, no pattern)....because it's more fun to guess how you want it to look. Makes it much more of a challenge....you have no idea how it will look in the end. It is preferable to make them all different. The drawstring is sewn between the lining and the outside fabric, and tied off on the ends. Beading is added at the very end.

Sarong panel from St. Lucia
Gorgeous sarong fabric woven from Terivole. Effective as a wall hanging, even without being quilted. Terivole feels like silk, and is often mistaken as such, but it is a true polyester , and considered better for warmer climates, like St. Lucia.
