Another bag :)

I've just listed this in my etsy shop here.

It is similar in construction to the Cath Kidston bag but with slightly different dimensions and shape.

The fabric is a cotton mix, a remnant of curtaining.

I put a lining in this one, which I think finishes it off nicely. The lining is upcycled from an old shirt of mine.

Cath Kidston bag

 Last Christmas my husband bought me a sewing machine, and a copy of Sew! by Cath Kidston. The book came with the fabric to make the bag on the cover.

After a year of procrastinating - I needed more practice, I didn't have the right colour thread, I was busy making something else... I finally did it last night!

It went pretty well, although I skipped the buttonholes on the strap and just stitched it to the bag. I put the buttons on as decoration only.

I am pretty pleased with it, the fabric is nice and spring-like - a little reminder that brighter weather is on its way.
