Have I mentioned that I love Liberty Tana Lawn fabric before? 😉 Yes I thought I had! I realised this week that when writing about the wedding last week I’d omitted to say that I’d also made myself a special little wedding bag for the day from my favourite fabric – Liberty Tana Lawn! I just adore the colours, the ditsy prints and the feel of Tana Lawn and I have been collecting pieces of it for a year or so now. I make mobile fone covers in it to sell on Folksy and every time I buy some I have been squirrelling away bits to make myself a bag. It is a very simple clutch bag with interlining and fusible fleece for support, a magnetic closing and floral buttons just for decoration. It all echoes the lilac colour scheme from the wedding. I loved making this the day before the wedding – it was a special bit of relaxation and ‘me time’ in the midst of all the preparations!

I’m linking up with Handmade Monday now so I am off for a read around the crafty blogs over there, why not pop over too! UPDATE- I can’t comment on lots of your blogs – I keep getting an error code – I assume this is a google/blogger problem as others are ok.
Awwww I love the fabrics you’ve used on your bag – I don’t blame you for squirreling away bits for your own bag!! Simmi xx
Those fabrics are gorgeous! It’s so tricky to use such lovely fabrics sometimes because when you are used to making things for others, it can feel a bit self-indulgent to make something for yourself. We all deserve a lovely treat now and then!
thank you – Really sorry I can’t get my comments to work on your blog.
I’m another great fan of Liberty’s tana lawn, and your bag is lovely!
thank you – Really sorry I can’t get my comments to work on your blog.
Your bag looks gorgeous. Lovely fabric.

What a sweet little bag, I love the different fabric patterns too – I can see why you love them.
The bag looks great, the fabric works really well.
thank you – can’t write a comment on yours as it keeps saying error 🙁
ooh i love a patchwork bag, they’re so full of character – yours is really lovely, such a great idea to collect scraps of your fav fabrics from other makes! x
What a lovely way of using up bits of fabric. The colours are really pretty xx
thank you – Really sorry I can’t get my comments to work on your blog.
Liberty fabrics are beautiful aren’t they? Your clutch bag shows them off beautifully.
Have a lovely week ☆
Love your choice of fabrics. They work so well together.
The comment error is annoying me too. It is down to a Blogger/Google problem. From what I’ve seen, it seems to be caused by Blogger blogs using a captcha code for their comments. Those without a captcha seem to work just fine.
Well a couple I couldn’t comment on last night worked today but there are several I can’t comment on even though I have other weeks – very strange!
Had to giggle at the un-isolated incident. My cupboard is full of those too.!!!
