on the worktable: appliques & ruffles

I never tire of ruffles as you can clearly see here. These are a few of my favorite little "toss anything you like in" bags- and I take them everywhere. You name it and I stuff it into these bags.

I recently was creating a few new bags for a magazine submission when I had an idea to tweak this bag a little bit...

I still wanted to keep the ruffles and silky flower, but I decided to add an appliqued word to one side of the bag. I also added some glittery tulle over the top of my stitched wool leaves and gave them a scalloped edge. The last detail I changed was the seam binding zipper pull - adding a hand dyed touch. So what do you think?
