I have been sewing raksu bags for the Sangha since I took Jukai in 2010. I work with remnants and ends as well as donated fabric. Generally I take an order and the recipient does not know what their bag will look like until they get it. It is a great way to practice non-attachment. I try to individualize the bags while not making them particularly flashy.
Each bag is made through a combination of machine and hand sewing. I make standard envelope, snub-nosed envelope, and flat-flap styles. Soon I will be offering internal dividers with pockets to separate your raksu from your journal, pen and reading glasses.
Proceeds go to the temple and to cover fabric costs.
I can be contacted through facebook.
