I know this may sound funny, I think I can make a pouch but don't know how to do up the drawstrings, I have never made one, so is there a good pattern I can use? Does the pouch have to be handmade, it's ok if it does, I was just curious.

I'll look for a pattern :) it doesn't have to be a drawstring one if something else is easier and I'll edit the swap because if you have something suitable I can't see that it not being handmade would be a problem and I'd hate for people not to be able to join because they don't sew .Thanks for the comment :) x

I found the story of Blodeuwedd in the German wiki page, but it was not that detailed. Is there some English page with more details of her story?

There is an intriguing novel called "The Owl Service" (referring to a set of dishes) which touches upon her story. Great book.

I found this template for a very simple drawstring bag here:

Thank you! I know where to find very nice pouches if I cannot make one, I know bags are simple, but the drawstring thing eludes me, maybe I could make one with a single button closure? But if for some reason I cannot I will buy something nice instead, it's just great to have that option in case whatever I try to make goes awry! Thanks @Sunnie I am watching now will join closer to the date, can't wait for this one!
