My First Fabric Bag

I went to a bag making workshop yesterday and made this bag.  I nipped out between rain showers today to photograph it.  I used a Sanderson fabric remenant in a soft floral design for the outside and used a cream cotton for the lining.  Just taken it out for a spin and it functions really well, plenty of room.  I might make the next one (yes, there will be a next one as throughly enjoyed making this one) with slightly longer handles so it can go comfortably, on my shoulder and I might round the corners, but really pleased with my first effort.

  1. Love the bag. A nice way to put little bits of material to good use. I must have missed a couple of your posts because I missed your beautiful flowers. I love the one you call Roma. It is really quite stunning. I wonder if it would survive in Colorado?

    Had to get the machete out in the garden yesterday the triffids were starting to attack us.

  3. A wonderful bag ,which has made me feel quite guilty.My neighbour gave me lots of floral fabric, Sanderson included,and I recently sent it to a charity shop, so I hope somebody makes good use of it.
