A modern take on the Japanese Komebukuro, a traditional pouch used in Japan to carry rice offerings to the temple during religious ceremonies, or to hold gifts destined for a close friend or relative. Komebukuro bags were hand sewn in a patchwork style and individually designed with a mix of whatever fabrics were on hand, and closed with a cotton drawstring cord. This is a perfect project o use up all those extra scraps of fabric and add your own unique style with stitching and embellishment.
