7 small drawstring bags made of cotton

Initial idea from Christina from Berlin:

I would like to have 7 small drawstring bags made of cotton cloth in the colour dusty rose (NOT pink). And with the words Judy’s Bridemaids printed in gold italics on the front.
The size should be similar to the smallest bag in the attached photo.

This project has been realized by myself, Allan Ochieng, in Kenya for Christina from Berlin (Germany) It started with the idea from Christina. This page shows our journey from the idea to the final custom made item.

Hello Christina.I am happy to provide an offer for your idea of the draw string small bags.I have done this before and I assure the best outcome.From the photo I cant quite make out the exact measurements of the smallest bag.Would you care to give an estimate in inches?
Thank you

Christina 30 Nov 2018 7:42 am

Hello Allan.
I can only approximate the size in cm. So Length 24cm and Width 14 cm
Thanks

Allan Ochieng 30 Nov 2018 8:07 am

CM will work perfectly.Next I want to send a photo of the fabric I will find and the colour of the print and the italics design.If you give a go ahead.I will provide prices and we begin

Christina 30 Nov 2018 1:24 pm

Hello Christina.went out to try and find tge dusty rose and I sure found the colour in cotton(attached).colour slightly distorted but its same colour as the flower(attached)
-the print as will appear after printing in gold through screen printing(attached)
-the draw string available.we can use that or a ribbon(attached)

Christina 03 Dec 2018 8:12 am

Hello Allan.
I’m not so sure whether the drawstring will look good with the material. It’s hard to tell with the picture.
Which ribbon option did you have in mind?
The print is exactly what I had envisioned. I would like to change from Judy’s Bridemaids to singular, Judy’s Bridemaid. Since each will be going to one person.

Allan Ochieng 03 Dec 2018 3:30 pm

Hi Christina.I have a black 0.25 inch or 0.75cm wide ribbon(attached) and dusty rose shoelace like straps(attached).but the lace straps should work perfectly

Christina 04 Dec 2018 8:58 am

Hi Allan.
I’m afraid the straps look too much like shoe laces even though they’re the right colour (because of the ends) so I would go with the ribbon that you attached.

Allan Ochieng 04 Dec 2018 9:31 am

Ok.This one?(attached)

Christina 04 Dec 2018 9:52 am

No the one you attached before the shoe lace picture. It also looks like the dusty rose colour

Allan Ochieng 04 Dec 2018 1:21 pm

And this one?

Christina 05 Dec 2018 7:20 am

Is it possible to see a sample with the rose coloured ribbon and the last picture you have attached once you’ve done the bags? It’s hard to visualise without seeing it on the bag.

Allan Ochieng 05 Dec 2018 7:55 pm

Hello Christina.yes.its possible.I will send photos with each of the two.Judy's Bridesmaid is to be written straight or across? (Attached)

Christina 06 Dec 2018 1:56 pm

It should be written across.
Thanks

Allan Ochieng 06 Dec 2018 4:21 pm

Ok.noted

Christina 07 Dec 2018 8:44 pm

Hi Allan.
That sounds a bit pricey. How many metres of cotton and what type of cotton are you looking at?
Or what exactly is it that‘s driving the price up?

Allan Ochieng 08 Dec 2018 10:45 am

Hi Christine.
I used a meter of fabric.its a cotton abit pricy but not the light one in weight.perfect for the but I understand your concern please feel free to suggest your offer
(Attached) Is a photo of the finished bag with 2 strings please pick one so i can attach all.
Thanks

Allan Ochieng 09 Dec 2018 9:23 am

Christina 09 Dec 2018 1:59 pm
