Projects bags are so hot right now. Everyone and their momma is making them and selling them. Do not get me wrong I love all the inde style bags and the shops like Little Skein In The Big Wool has be drooling and dreaming on a weekly basis.Her “kits” with the bag, project and yarn are stunning and I have been kicking myself for not getting the “Where The Wild Things Are Set” Like every time I see the little creature made I cringe and wonder why I did not go for it.

Now mine are not as “cool” and do not have the designer fabric as theirs but they do function like the others and mine were free in a sense. I already owned the fabric, machine, ruler and other needles tools to make them. The only thing I have to do is find the draw string cord. currently I am using…
