Had a lovely time this week using up some of my stash with the jelly roll I bought recently! I have booked myself onto a 4 week quilting course at Voirrey Embroidery and I am really looking forward to 3 hours sewing and learning on Thursday mornings! I have to take basic sewing kit with me so it gave me the perfect excuse to make myself a new project bag.
Here are the straps on the bag – I used a plain turquoise for one side and a hippy swirly orange for the other!
Now I have to put in the zip and then make a lining with pockets to sandwich in the wadding.
To finish with I am going to add some of these LOVELY buttons from Berrynicecushions on Folksy. She has some wonderful buttons for sale, painted with floral patterns. Click here if you want to see what else she has!
I’m off for my Sunday night fix now over at Handmade Monday to see what everyone else is up to!
What a lovely bag! Have fun on the course. Alison
You are very clever. I like the combination of the orange and blue together. Those buttons are gorgeous. Hope you enjoy your class.
I love quirky buttons! Definitely going to have a look at this shop 🙂
Love the turquoisey swirls on your bag, I hope you enjoy the course
Fantastic fabrics, the hippy swirls are brilliant. I love those swirly buttons, I bought some off Folksy a while ago but haven’t used them yet.
I love the comment you left on my last post about having a silhouette in the window. 🙂
