Mine were black velvet with satin lining, and the pocket section was also velvet lined with satin. The center piece was padded so we could attach a few small broaches to the middle right through the fabric. I did narrow satin ribbon drawstrings through a casing, and did some beadwork on the drawstrings after each was drawn through. We still have them, and love using them.

The felt version would certainly be a lot faster and simpler to make. Maybe I'll do some new ones, since most of us seem to acquire more jewelry! They do keep your jewelry from getting scratched and tangled up and are perfect for traveling too.

Thanks for a real value added program for your readers.

This video, plus the other Threads DVD sets that you, Kenneth King and Louise Cutting have developed and taken part in are truly inspired, and continually help me become a better sewer and sewing problem solver. We sewers are visual learners, and every extra technique you show and use helps me with the next project I take on. Plus, I love all of the articles you write on vintage clothing, and what makes them work. Thank you again for inspiring me on. I am looking forward to whatever you do next.

Having recently purchased "Industry Insider Techniques" Vol 1 & 2 I am soaking them up like a sponge. Love this Felt jewelery bag and intend to make at least a trial version. Many thanks from Australia.
