More ideas for bags:

I went to Brum this weekend. Brum, you may wonder? Yes, Brum, Birmingham, Britain's Second City ... and I found inspiration once again. I couldn't justify buying the bags because I have so much material to make my own - plus no real use for them. But I thought I'd "document" for future reference:







In the meantime, I finished applique-ing all those little animal squares. Now I'll tidy seams while working up the courage to start the sun design for the quilted middle. I'll take that off a throw I purchased ages ago ... and we shall see how well that works. I'm thinking baking sheets and pins will do the trick ...

Bag One Done!

Taa daa!

In case you were wondering why this is such a big deal: I grew up with "leg bags", my mum turned all kinds of pant legs into all kinds of bags that were dubbed "bread pouches" ... mainly brown corduroy pants because I grew up during the 1970ies. And believe it or not, some of them are still "in action". In fact, my dad uses one every day to carry a bottle of water, some slices of rye bread and old gouda to the office for his lunchtime snack.

So there you go: history repeated!

Bag Lady

I seem to have been infected by Bag Fever:


An old pant leg, some lining from curtains that needed shortening and those seemingly rather useless strips of rose fabric ...


Stage 2 ... bag taking shape.

Stage 3 will be completed tonight. All in all a very fruitful weekend, finally!
