Hi all!
Ive been on a bagmaking kick for my favorite tarot decks. I handsew because I can't justify buying a sewing machine for such small projects. I thought it would be neat to share ideas and maybe pictures of our homemade tarot bags.
I just bought a bunch of velvets. Pretty pale pink, rosy pink and a salmon color. The black liner.. a bunch of ribbons in organza and pretty filmy types, some beads (for the tassles) I make them lined with seperators (for the lwb and extra cards). I make a little tassle or decoration with beads and such.
Also recently made a bag for a deck out of black flannely type (soft) material and embroidered bright color designs (stars. moons, womans face with wavy hair and such). Made a pretty black tassle with a few rich gypsy colored beads on it for a tie.
I like stuffing lavender between the outer fabric and the liner in some of my cases. It smells really nice for years. Also another idea could be balsam (for those woodsy types).
I'll try to get photos up some point soon.
If you're a craftsy type share your decoration ideas here!
