Heavens, yes, Batik. I remember the craze well. In fact, I still have a batik sarong that’s on its last legs!

I was thinking a cape with that design would look very good. But Janet’s idea for the bag is very good. It would look great in smaller bags too…And a bowl for sweets?

Love it. I lived in the States from 1966 til 1993 and so my children grew up with trick or treating….and I always enjoyed making the costumes….Your bag would be so perfect to collect the treats 🙂
