Vintage obi silk from my stash sewn into a knitting project bag lined with sheer black silk.   It stands freely on a flat surface.
 
This bag easily carries 4-5 skeins of yarn and your knitting essentials.  
 
100% woven silk.  Some minor signs of wear from it's former life as an obi.  This was a "first draft" of this bag and is being sold at some discount.   Lining fabric is fine gauze silk and will not hold up to sharp objects like scissors.
