A Quilted Furoshiki

Expendable posted on Aug 09, 2008 | views: 253 | Tags: sewing, furoshiki, tote, Project, bag, wrapping
Furoshiki is a square cloth used in Japan that you can tie into a bag for shopping and gift-wrapping. Definitely better than easily ripped plastic bags and so easy to make yourself.
 
Anyway, I got to thinking  - why not make a mini furoshiki quilt? I'd have my own mini-blanket for going places. Add some ties in the corner and I can still turn it into a bag. Gonna have to try this.

    EX: That's really cool and interesting. I wonder how big a furoshiki typically is.

    They could become a real craft project.  I'll bet they'd sell at fairs and flea markets or even on line.  Maybe you're on to something big!

    Zayda - 40.5 & 27 inches square. Odd sizes. I'm told they can be smaller.
    Botoni - only if this works out. hehe
