She sent me this set of photos with a few words of explanation.
My Granddaughters have their birthdays within three months of each other, Becky in June, Hannah in July and Courtenay in August. The bags are all very simple in shape, measuring about 18cm x 12cm.
Becky's is made from a pink silk scarf (from Smarts in Bollington) and embellished with french knots and beads, it fastens with a Dorset knob button because I am practising button making for a workshop in the Autumn at Macclesfield Museum.
Hannah's is made of silk from the Museum's shop and decorated with lines of beadwork using oddments from my cache.
Courtenay's is made entirely from recycled material from the 2 Charity shops in Poynton. The beautiful Indian embroidery was on a size 10 basque (£1) and the back from a black pelmet skirt, even the cord and silver thread were second hand.
By tradition all three got a little money slipped inside plus a favourite sweet - an Uncle Joe's mint ball!
