mini komebukuro bag

For this small-scale komebukuro bag, I have used a similar construction style to original komebukuro (see Boro History). The patchwork panels that form the sides are pieced in strips, with the addition of a few raw-edge appliqué patches. Using ¼in (6mm) seams throughout, make a 4½in (11.4cm) pieced square from four 4½ x 1½in (11.4 x 3.8cm) strips. Make four pieced squares in all (the bag side panels), add some raw-edge appliqué patches at random, and sew each to a 4½in (11.4cm) fabric square (the bag base) to make the cross shape that completes the bag outer. Join five 4½in (11.4cm) fabric squares to make the bag lining in the same way. Sew the side seams of the bag outer with right sides together, so that this time the seams are on the inside of the finished bag rather than on the outside as on the larger komebukuro bag. Repeat for the bag lining. Make four drawstring loops (see Komebukuro Bag, step 3) and sew one to the centre of each top side of the lining, with the lining fabric folded over to the outside of the bag by ½in (1.3cm). Fold the top of the bag outer over by ½in (1.3cm), and do the same with the lining. Place the lining inside the bag, wrong sides together, and hand sew all the way around the top. Add drawstring cords (see Komebukuro Bag, step 8).
