Banner Bags

I have a lot of projects on the go at the moment, but I did spend a couple of hours recently making some bags to store some banners for my group. It was a very simple project, but one which really rekindled my enjoyment of crafting because I decided to use potato stamps to put the banner numbers on the bags.

I hadn't used a potato stamp since I was a child (and my skills have not improved since then!) but I really enjoyed it. The results were not great, but boy I had fun with it. 

I must try and get some woodblock stamps in future, and learn about fabric stamping.
