Pocket/Purse Bag

Eliza Fegley, 1998.

A simple bag to make for keeping little trinkets, herbs, stones, etc.
from getting lost in your pocket or purse. You can also make it into a
mojo bag by selecting the colours corresponding to your needs and
adding herbs, stones, knots, beads, and whatever else to it. Feel free
to elaborate with this simple pattern by emboidering symbols onto it,
stringing beads along its sides, adding a cord to hang it from your neck
or around your waist. The GIF above does not do the bag any justice but
actual pics take so much longer to load over.

Items Needed:
Felt, thin leather, wool, or any non-fraying material
Embroidery floss, or thin cord to sew the bag together
Button
Emellishments *optional

Instructions:
1. Cut fabric to pattern's size.
2. Fold bottom half up and sew sides together.
3. Choose button and make hole in flap to accomodate it. Sew button under flap.
4. That's it! Emellish it as you please.
