Sew a Jewelry Dumpling Bag

Description

Sew this super adorable jewelry dumpling bag! It’s a perfect little pouch for your earrings, rings, bracelets, and other jewelry for travel or just for organizing at home. Each pouch closes up securely with the drawstring ties and features 7 little divided pockets for earrings or rings, and a padded center area for bracelets and larger earrings.

In this workshop, you’ll have fun sewing this useful bag, while learning as I guide you through each step. I’ll show you how to easily cut small circles, sew and smooth out curved seams, top-stitch, create a casing for the drawstring, insert the cord, and much more!

We’ll have fun and colorful cotton fabrics to choose from so you can customize your dumpling bag.
