This kit has everything you need to make your own uber-sparkly, cult favourite crystal mesh bag. This bag is the perfect timeless glam project for parties and special events through the years. The project takes about a day of sewing, with a mix of machine and hand sewing that's perfect to do over a few cosy evenings. You'll use this bag year after year and be so proud to say you made it!
Each kit includes everything you need to make one bag, including the crystal mesh, lining, and downloadable step by step tutorial with photographs. We have purposefully left the images and text quite large in the tutorial so it's easier to follow.
The materials used in the kits are the Clear Black Crystal Mesh and Black Bonded Crepe and both are true designer deadstock. The Crystal Mesh is metal and diamante crystals and the Black Crepe is polyester. The mesh is quite drapey and flexible for a metal and made up of interconnecting circles. It's quite easy to sew by hand with a simple slip-stitch. It's so sparkly when it hits the light and the bag is medium weight when finished up.
This sewing project is suitable for confident beginners. You will need to be at least beginner proficient in hand sewing, we recommend using a thimble. You will need to use a sewing machine as well. The tutorial includes step by step photos. We recommend using topstitch thread for the hand sewing for extra strength. The finished bag is about 15cm wide and 30cm tall.
