Persnickety Pockets (Varied: approx.. 5” by 8”)
About two years ago, my friends Rose and Jackie drove several hours to visit and take me out for lunch. I wanted to give them each a small gift I had purchased on a recent trip to China. I didn’t like any of the wrapping options I had at home, so I turned to my sewing table and improvised a cloth gift sack that I could tie at the top with a piece of ribbon. They enjoyed the wrappings as much as the gifts, and I found that once I started, I couldn’t stop! It was like eating potato chips! The colors, shapes, and sizes are the crunch, flavor, and salt that add up to an addiction! I don’t much care for the word bag, so I decided to name these, Persnickety Pockets, a more whimsical tag that hints at the scissors and scraps that snip and swop in the process. Here’s what my own Persnickety Pockets carry: my Kindle e-reader, my favorite silk scarf, small gift loaves of zucchini bread for Thanksgiving, and many other small gifts for friends and family. ($15 to $20)
