Getting things back together a bit thank goodness. Made a bag for my holiday cruise.
Now we all know we have to take something to do whilst away. I bet none of you can bare to sit with your hands empty or your fingers idle, I am just the same so needed something summery but also useful for carrying cameras etc., when tripping off the boat.
I made this from a load of 4" squares inherrited from a crafter who sadly passed away some years ago. There was a huge pile of assorted colours and designs which, over the years, I am gradually using up. It is fitted it with dual types of handles depending on what I am using it for at any given time. The white is just sheeting from Dunhelms and the plastic handles, well, I have had them sooo long I don't know where they originated. The buckle thingy on the long handle came curtesy of The Equity Shoe Factory at which both my aunts worked. What I would call a totally ecconomical bag.
As I have not entered Handmade Monday for a few weeks perhaps I can offer this. Go to Handmade Harbour to see what everyone else has offered. You will be amazed at the variety offered. Apologies to Wendy for being so remiss.
Well done on the bag and think what goodies you can fill it with, love the pastel colours.
ReplyDeleteThe bag is lovely, beautiful colours. xx
ReplyDeleteYou really don't need to apologise Carol! Hope you're feeling more positive now - certainly sounds like it, thinking about holidays. The bag is super, and captures that holiday feeling perfectly. I love it and I love that's it's been so economical to make, too. I have a few bags on my sewing to-do list, but most of them haven't even made it to the planning stage yet, let alone making. I'd better get a move on with the summery ones (fabric for one arrived this morning, so that'll help me get started!) x
ReplyDeleteWe missed you Carol, but know we all understand how you have been feeling. The bag is really lovely and the colours are beautiful. I hope you have a good week.
