Pilgrim's (Alms) Bags  

Posted by Mermaiden in ,

1) Bag pattern


Cut Fabric


2) Tassles, make them first and sew in while making bag

For ease, get a piece of heavy card stock or foam board to use for wrapping the tassle.

2.1 Make the hanger 
     2.1.1 Wrap the string around the card 20 times to make the tassle body. 
     2.1.2 Make a loop with a separate piece of cord and tie off the ends. 
     2.1.3 Pull the back end of the loop through, behind the threads on the card, then pull the tied end through the hole and pull to tighten and close off the top end. Can use a crochet hook to grab string to make it easier to pull through. Now your tassle has a hanger.


     2.2 Close off the tassle.
          2.2.1 Cut off another piece of your string to use
          2.2.2 Make the loop

 How to make the loop:



          2.2.3 Slip your loop over the top of the tassle, then pull to tighten down. The loose threads become a part of the tassle.
