Bath Bomb Bag

I learned about bath bombs from my granddaughters. They love them. They arrived with bath bombs in their luggage...wonder what TSA thought about those! Of course, I had some ready for them so they could take long soaks in the jetted tub.

But my younger granddaughter, Vivian, wanted to make a bath bomb bag....say what? 

She had it all drawn out for Grandma to help her sew it up, her "Bath Bomb Holder Plan".

She had drawn the bag with a liner inside with elastic around the top of the liner to hold the bath bomb. Her biggest bath bomb is pictured, a full 10" around. But I had the perfect fabric for the liner: white sparkle organza. The outer bag was made from polished cotton, embroidered on the embroidery machine with a floral design she liked. She picked the rayon thread colors (peaches, blue-green and green) and stitched it out herself.

Here she is pinning the circular edge of the inner bag so she can sew a casing for the elastic. She was very emphatic the inner bag be sewn to the bottom of the cotton bag in a circle. She had to keep the cotton bag out of the way while pinning.

The last step was sewing up the outer bag and putting the pale turquoise ribbon through the casing so she can draw up the bag. She was very pleased with her project!
