Stripey bag

I bought a load of pieces of fabric from the local curtain shop - pages from a sample book.

Of course I didn't know what to do with them at first, but today I cut them into wide strips and sewed them into a large rectangle. I folded this large piece over to make a flap over bag and lined it with some yellow fabric.

The handle is made in a similar way - stitching 3 pieces into a long rectangle.

I'm pretty pleased with how it has turned out, although it took longer than I expected it to. Didn't get any housework done this morning. Shame.

And now it's for sale in my misi shop.
