Our local Ren fair will celebrate its 20th anniversary next month! These are the bags I've made to take with us. All hand embroidered & beaded. I altered a Butterick pattern (5505 view A) to give the bags a Renaissance flair. I used highly reflective beads in each design. While my photo doesn't capture it, they dazzle the eyes in the sunlight.
So we won't all be in costume... instead we'll try accessorizing to get in the mood! It's so much kinder to my budget then sewing a full costume and way easier on my schedule!
