Mini Komebukuro

I was inspired to sew this Japanese Rice Bag after seeing a short video by Tendersmile Handmade demonstrating a simpler technique. I made a few modifications.

I pieced my outer fabric in a boro style using select cotton fabrics from my stash. The lining and cord casing is a solid color black dobby weave Sevenberry Japanese cotton fabric.

For the draw string I used two pieces of leather suede cording and added decorative colorful glass beads.

The bag has a 5 inch square base and measures 5.5 inches tall.
