Mimi’s tallit bag

 

 

I made this tallit bag as my gift to Mimi. I began with a length of pale blue silk shantung.  Mimi's family calls this Mimi blue.  It’s her favorite color.

 

I added the side strips that were made of out bias pieced navy blue and maroon shantung. At first this looked like an Aerogram, those one sheet air mail letters.

 

I added the stenciled design. I applied the color with oil paint sticks.

The beading was for the fun of it.
