Hi Keiko! I received an email regarding some Tatcha products I ordered and with it will come a furoshiki cloth.
I watched your tutorial that was on the email and I was so impressed by the cosmetic bag you created but the video was not step by step and I couldnāt see the entire process to make this bagā¦the finished product had handles and looked like it had some sort of elastic? Where you could pull it close and open itā¦.it was an entirely different cosmetic bag from your tutorial on .com.
Will you pls send a complete step by step instructions on how I may get this style of a cosmetic bag?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
