SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
" 1/4 yd Casa Collection"! Organza
" 1/4 yd Tulle
" 1 large pkg Sulky® Solvy"! Water-Soluble Stabilizer
" 1 spool 1/8" Silver ribbon
" 1 spool Sulky® Holoshimmer thread
" 1 spool Sulky® Rayon thread
" Basic sewing supplies
" Safety pins
" Iron
" Pressing cloth
" Sewing Machine
DIRECTIONS:
1. The fabric for the bags is a layered design of ribbon and thread swirled between organza and tulle. To create
the fabric, layer the organza, Solvy"! stabilizer, 8"-12" lengths of silver ribbon, snippets of ribbon, lengths of
Holoshimmer thread, Solvy"! stabilizer and the tulle. Place pressing cloth on top of layers and press with a cool
iron to fuse the pieces together. The pieces don t fuse completely, but it helps to keep the pieces from moving
around. With safety pins, pin layers together to hold in place when stitching. Remove pins as you work; don t
sew over pins.
2. After entire piece is layered, free motion quilt using Sulky® Rayon thread.
3. Follow manufacturer s instructions to dissolve Solvy"! out of the fabric. Allow fabric to dry.
4. Cut a 7" strip the width of the fabric. Fold in half with right sides together and stitch along long edges, leaving
a 1/4" seam allowance. Finish raw edges if desired.
5. Turn under the top edge and stitch to make a small hem. Turn bag.
6. A closure ribbon is tacked 12" from finished top edge.
7. Fold end to make point, tie ribbon around point to secure.
