Melissa, draw string bags are all the rage now. Draw strings will stay in fashion for a good long time.
Feel better gentle lady,
Warm hugs,

I found this pattern via another email group I belong to, but lost it while trying to edit it to send to this group. I have a picture of what I think it should look like in my head, so after I figure it out, I may teach a class on it later this year. medical updateI am now having trouble with both of my shoulders. The surgery I had on the left one didn't help. It wasn't a complete rotator cuff surgery, but I am afraid that might happen soon. It is brocitis. Excuse the bad spelling.I am working on a queen size red and white blanket for a friend who is paying me to do it. I have mad a couple of smaller blankets earlier this year.I think I will have to start making smaller items until my shoulders quit bothering me so bad. back to the bag craft, I am looking for some ideas of putting fasceners on the bags since I am no good at sewing. Just looking for ideas of differens types of bag closures. thanks for reading. take care.

Hi all,
I just wanted to let everyone know that they made a mistake and gave me a print copy of the book instead of the braille version. They told me to mail back the one I have, and they'll give me the braille one in exchange.
Take care,
Valerie
