I brought my vintage Yo Yo top to the retreat
for Show 'n Tell:
It was made during the depression
and is approaching 90 years old...
It has inspired me to create my own Yo Yo top...
I carry mine in this canvas dowel bag:
I made this a few years back...
My Yo Yo top is getting larger and is
outgrowing the dowel bag...
This is a much larger dowel bag:
I ice dyed and machine quilted the fabric,
then my aunt created the bag for me...
I have decided to make a larger
canvas dowel bag
to carry my ever-growing Yo Yo top:
Debbie and Linda want to make a bag too...
Here is some messy painted canvas that we
created in 2020
This is a 2 yard piece of canvas
that will be come my new dowel bag...
The bag body and sides are cut out
and ready to stitch together...
The outer shell of the bag is together...
I am stitching together the orange batik lining
and the canvas bag together...
The bag is ready for the dowel handles...
It was a FUN break to get away from the machines
and head into the kitchen to paint our dowels...
While the paint was drying,
we created the bottom support for the bags...
I used the orange batik lining fabric
to cover my heavy cardboard support...
Here it is finished and ready
to transport my Yo Yo top around...
