I promised my poor mother a black and white frilly dilly bag. I won't say when I promised! She is a very patient woman, but in sheer desperation, she made it up herself on a recent visit to my place.
How cute does it look in black and white? And on the shoulder of my 'Miss-Fifteen-With-The-Blonde-Locks-To-Die-For'?!
From top to bottom, the fabric details are:

And, as if I need to say it, the pattern is 'Frilly Dilly Bag' by Janelle Wind. I've lost count how many times I've made this pattern up, and I still love it.
Good job Mum!
I love it done in B & W. Your model is pretty stylish too!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. Poor Mum but it's a good thing she can sew isn't it. I would love hair like your daughters' Cherrie
ReplyDeleteThe bag looks great in black and white - it is a great pattern...

Your mum has excellent taste! She has done a beautiful job, it must run in the family!
ReplyDeleteI love this bag so much I have just looked it up and found out where I can source the pattern from - it is so cute!!! Your Mum has done a great job! I have so many things on my to do list at the moment but I am going to put my head down and get stuck into them all so that as soon as I get the pattern I can start. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love it in black and white...too, cute!
ReplyDeleteBloom, I hope you never tire of making Frilly Dilly bags because you have such an eye for combining the loveliest fabrics. Each bag is a beauty and this one is no exception. I bet your Mom will love it and not complain about the wait. ;o)
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic. I'm sure she'll love using it. Hope you had a great time together. Leanne.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what's nicer - the bag or your daughter's beautiful tresses! Envy!
ReplyDeleteHad to come back and tell you - I have found a shop that stocks the Frilly Dilly Bag pattern and they are holding it for me till tomorrow. Sorry go to go and finish all my Christmas sewing so I can get on to making myself a bag as soon as I can......thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow. That is truly lovely. I bet it gets lots of use.

ReplyDeleteYour Mum did a smashing job with her B&W Frilly Dilly. Were you teaching her whilst you were making mine? I saw the sneak peak in the post below, it looks yummy!
love Nellie
Dear Bloom,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your Frilly Dilly bag! I can't see where to get a copy of the pattern from though. Can you tell me where you got yours please?
I didn't realise you had so many projects available. It wasn't until I went through the list that I realised that I had already printed out most of them! They are all fantastic. Thanks so much for being so inspiring. I will be following your blog now!
Regards Lexi in Perth WA.
The bag is amazing,the color combination is good.
ReplyDeleteNevermind, I've found it!
ReplyDeleteOh No! That's a bit sad when your Mum has to make her own. LOL! I'm sure she had a great teacher???
ReplyDeleteLove the black and white fabrics.
I completely love this bag, and the black & white theme. I attempted to make one for my oldest daughter, and it wasn't easy, but turned out super. Thanks so much for sharing.
