I finished
the bag I vowed to myself I would make over the Easter break:
My new bag is being modelled by my daughter who is young, slim & beautiful (a leap of logic would surely make you wonder if perhaps I am old, fat & ugly?! Don't you love the mystery & anonymity of the Internet!).
The pattern is 'Ready for an Outing' by Melanie Hurlston of
Melly & Me fame. It was published in Australian Country Threads Volume 7 No 9. The fabric is mostly 'Summer in the City' by Urban Chiks (Moda).
I wasn't able to find the linen webbing required by the pattern for the handles, so I had to improvise & make my own.
I added some hand stitching just to jazz them up a little! Great pattern - I love the shape & size of this bag. And I reckon anything made with these fabrics would be cute!
