My mignonette bag was not forgotten, I just lost the tube of beads that I needed to finish it.
The good news is I found them and was able to finish the bag.
I only needed a small amount of thread so I used the smaller Clover shuttles to finish the bag. The top edge is hardly ruffled at all because I didn’t re-read the pattern for the number of beads suggested, I just used three on each chain. At the time I thought it was enough and later I wasn’t going to go back and do it again. I still do not have the pull string done, but that is a minor issue.
You can see that it ended up a bit on the narrow side. I’m thinking of using it to carry my lip balm, which fits quite nicely.
I am pleased with how this came out, and how easy it was. It is likely that I will use mignonette tatting again, maybe in one of my patterns.

I love how it turned out! I think i’m Using the same color beads on mine (with black thread ugh) so that gives me hope for a second project. Do yo have a diagonal line going around of a sort of “holes”? I can’T seem to avoid them no matter how carefully I tighten before the split ring…
Thanks! Good luck with your project, black thread can be hard to work with (SEE!) Yes, I have a diagonal line. I’m hoping to learn to minimize that on future projects, whatever they may be.
Beautiful bag, well done on getting it finished.
Thanks!
It looks wonderful!!! 🙂
Thank you!
