I share a table at the market with a friend who makes soap. Sarah wants small bags to put soap in. She thought that my sewing pupil might like to do the job. He did 10, but that was enough for him. He's only 11 years old, so an order for 50 bags was more than he could manage. I said I'd have a go. This is half the order, which I'll take to the market, and then I'll do the rest next week. They take a bit longer to do than the jewelry bags and I'm still developing my rhythm, but I'm sure I'll soon have the hang of it.
I have finished the pink/grey gloves and made a start on the blue/grey ones
I'll use the same Spragues pattern. Diane did some research and discovered that sprague is a word derived from Old English that means alert or lively. Thanks Diane!
I do love your color choices! I'm curious... are the soap bags to be used as wash cloths or just as bags? I've had knit soap bags that I've put slivers of soap in and then used the bags for washing. I love gathering new ideas!
ReplyDeleteI have crocheted bags like that for Sarah, but in this case the bags are going to be given away with soap inside as corporate gifts.
Delete50 bags is a fair amount! Well done for your student giving it a go.
