beatles drawstring bag

i just can't quit this fabric. 

as previously mentioned i first came across the midnight charisma print from amy butler's lark collection at a verb for keeping warm where I bought three yards. later at home I showed victor and he remarked "you know it sorta looks like the cover of a beatles album." henceforth it was known as the beatles fabric. 

the first thing I made was a mash up between the bubble dress and playtime dress (both from oliver + s) for maya.

next I made my sister sammie a san francisco scarf (tutorial here).

then I went back and bought the rest they had (another 1 7/8 yards) and roller skate dresses (an oliver + s pattern) for nora and etta.

finally I made a 2+2 blouse by oliver + s for miss neela.

but wait there is more!

last week I made myself the drawstring bag from little things to sew by oliver + s.

for the bottom panel and casing i used a stretch cotton sateen left over from my 100 hours dress and edge-stitched along the bottom seam.

i used a blush cotton voile (purchased years ago at gather here) for the lining and a retro yellow grosgrain for the ribbon.

instead of edge stitching along the top I hand tacked the casing into place.

but I still have one more project left from this fabric!

love,
