Butterfly Net

A colleague of mine is a passinate butterfly observer. So he brought me some tulle and gave me instructions to make him a net for observation. He also gave me a circle made of strong flat wire.

I sewed the long sides together with a flat seam, then the upper part and finally made a tunnel - just in an easy way, folding the fabric and sewing 0.7 from the edge.

If I understood it correctly, he should hang this thing, turn on some light inside it and watch the butterflies sit on the net. Charming!

Violet Pompadour Bag

 Too many cash left from different coutries. This was my inspiration for this type of bag that I've had in my pins for a long time.

Two big and two small circles. One of the big circles has a hole on the outside, right above the small circle's edge. Sewing around the edge, turning to the right side and adding one more line of stitches to flatten the hem.
Making the bottom and eight compartments, one for each country's cash.
Adding a tunnel for the fastening cord.
The cord must have stoppers at the end and mustn't be too long so that the pouch doesn't open too much for the content to drop out.
Lovely type of bag!
