Even though I try hard not to waste materials when I design and make things, I still have a pile of little remnants. They are too small for the most of pieces I make, but still beautiful, high quality and great conditions. These are little KINCHAKU drawstring purses made with them. Some are left over from mask making, some from blankets, some from totes, and some from scraps I saved over decades. Some are in the same size, some are unique sizes (because of the size of remnants) but all are pretty much in the sizes that fits in your hand. You can see specific sizes of each purse in their photos. Some are available only one, some might be two, and some might be available a bunch.
As you can see in the last photo, each purse is lined with another cotton fabric remnant, each is different like the last photo. I take time to think about what would be cute combinations (and that is the fun part!), so I think each one has a great look. The cord is purple Edo uchihimo from Japan. If you would like to look at some photos of specific purses, please feel free to reach me. I would be happy to send you some photos of them.
Size: Vary in each pieces, but mostly somewhere between 9-13cm x 11-15cm (3-5" x 4.5-6"). Please look at photos for specific pieces for their size or feel free to contact me!
Materials: 100% cotton or mix of cotton & linen
Care: Hand wash preferred, but you can wash in washer, might be better to put it in the laundry net. Hang dry please. You can iron them if you want, but not on strings. :-) Strings can be discolored when they get wet, so please be careful when you wash.
*Each piece may look slightly different depending on the pattern placement of the fabric.
**I do my best to make photos look true to color, but, colors may vary depending on the screen setting, monitor and/or browser.
***Because of the nature of handmade pieces, the size might be slightly varied.
