I had an old brown sheet to cut up, but was struggling a bit to think of ways to make the bags pretty. It needed a stencilled design on it! Since my last foray into freezer paper stencilling, I have acquired more screen-painting ink colours! I now have black, white, blue, red and yellow.
White seemed perfect... and I was totally lazy and ended up using my laptop's screen as a lightbox, zooming in on the design and placing the freezer paper directly on the screen, tracing over the picture lightly.

Sometimes a Morsbag sets itself apart from the rest, and needs to be sent to someone rather than bundled off to the op-shop. This one made its way to Anna Bartlett, a blogfriend who wrote a lovely post about it.

Nice work! I love the stencil. It just makes the bag.
Beautiful bags!
I think both of them have an elegant and a bit retro Japanese taste. Do you like Japan?
And I LOVE my special brown bag. Thanks so much Jen!
Thanks for the lovely comments!
@I bag you: it was pure coincidence. I have no special interest in Japan :)
